Former President Donald Trump’s promised press conference to refute the allegations in the indictment handed up by the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office is now very much in doubt, multiple sources familiar with the matter tell ABC News.

Sources tell ABC News that Trump’s legal advisers have told him that holding such a press conference with dubious claims of voter fraud will only complicate his legal problems and some of his attorneys have advised him to cancel it.

[Er … good luck with that. As for the “Irrefutable Report,” I wouldn’t put too much stock in that promise anyway. And perhaps this is a good excuse for Trump to fail on delivery. After all, “I can’t discuss pending litigation” isn’t just a good excuse, it’s a smart strategy. — Ed]
