The former president shared the bizarre response in response to revelations that some of his closest advisers rejected his claims that the 2020 election was not fair. In a post on his own Truth Social platform, Mr. Trump wrote: “The unelected committee could not [to] to respond or refute in any way the detailed statement given yesterday about voter fraud and irregularities in many states that took place in the 2020 Presidential Elections “. In a “detailed statement,” Trump accused the commission of “shaming everything we consider sacred to our Constitution” with “a show of smoke and mirrors” and said the news outlets that covered the hearing were “coordinated” with the elite. committee for “broadcasting their witnesses on national television without any opposition, controversy or rebuttal”. In turn, he accused the Democrats that “they illegally inflated the voter lists, illegally allow it[ing] harvested and stuffed ballots, abuses[ing] the use of postal ballots, physical abstraction[ing] Republicans from counting facilities, abuse[ing] the elderly in nursing homes, bribery[ing] election officials with donations, stop[ing] counting election night, [giving] Democrats three extra days to collect ballots and demand[ing] that the American people believe it was legal “ None of the charges have ever been proven. Mr Trump also reiterated allegations made in a Dinesh D’Souza film, 2000 Mules, that Democrats used “mules” to hand out illegal ballot papers from liberal nonprofits at the polls. Many legitimate news outlets have debunked the allegations in the film, and former Trump Attorney General William Barr has dismissed them as nonsense. Mr Barr even laughed out loud during the videotaped testimony when select committee assistants asked him about the conspiracy theory around which the film is based. The jury is in the middle of a series of hearings in which the nine-member panel plans to present its preliminary findings after a year of investigating the “facts, circumstances and causes” of the January 6, 2021 Trump uprising, which cost the lives of three police and injured hundreds more. The committee of seven Democrats and two Republicans plans to hold six hearings, the next of which will take place on Thursday at 1 p.m. The hearing will look at Trump’s campaign of pressure in hopes of forcing then-Vice President Mike Pence to unilaterally reject ballot votes from the oscillating states during the joint congressional session to certify the presidential election. .
