The former president also said he would no longer hold a “major news conference” Monday to highlight the report and counter the charges he faces in Fulton County.

In a Truth Social post Thursday evening, Trump canceled Monday’s event and said the report would not be released that day, either.

“Rather than releasing the Report on the Rigged & Stolen Georgia 2020 Presidential Election on Monday, my lawyers would prefer putting this, I believe, Irrefutable & Overwhelming evidence of Election Fraud & Irregularities in formal Legal Filings,” he wrote in the post. “Therefore, the News Conference is no longer necessary!”

ABC News reported Thursday morning that Trump’s legal advisers were actively urging him to call off the event, arguing that continued claims of election fraud could further complicate his legal problems in the Georgia case. NBC News has not confirmed the report.

And no one was surprised.

      I like to imagine he has a serious sharpie problem. He’s completely hooked on sniffing sharpies all day long. It starts with a one-pack, and before you know it, you’re getting bulk discounts by pretending to work in academia. The feeling when you twist off the cap of a new sharpie? Can’t be beat.

      It would explain A LOT

        He’s got several up his butt at any given time. He learned it on 4Chan. It’s why his face always looks so unfortunate.
