President Trump leaves the White House for the Army/Navy soccer game at West Point, N.Y., Dec. 12, 2020.
President Trump said on Sunday (20) that his team is “getting closer and closer” to successfully challenging the election results in key battleground states.
In an interview with WABC radio, Trump said, “We’re getting closer and closer. I want you (the media) to let everybody know that we’re actually very close.”
“The fake news won’t tell you that. They don’t want to talk about it. They’re trying to suppress it. We don’t have freedom of the press at all. The press is being suppressed. It’s a terrible thing that’s happening in our country. It’s been going on (for a long time), it started a long time ago, but it’s reached this level that it’s become a terrible thing. It’s not freedom of the press, and we have to bring it back because the press is so suppressed and so dishonest. I don’t even call it fake news anymore. I call it corrupt news.” He added.
Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s team did not respond to a request for comment on Trump’s remarks.
Biden had already declared his supposed victory in the Nov. 3 election, and on Dec. 14, after the states cast their electoral votes, he said, “I and Vice President-elect Harris won a total of 306 electoral votes, far more than the 270 needed to win.”
But Trump and his campaign, as well as other Republicans, allege that there was widespread fraud and irregularities in the election. They are challenging the election results with various states, including Pennsylvania and Georgia.
So far, no legal challenges have prompted a change in the results. However, a Forensic Audit was conducted on the machines and software of Dominion’s voting system. An ongoing lawsuit in Michigan has produced a report on this audit, concluding that the voting system was purposefully designed to cause Antrim County (Antrim) to shift Trump’s vote to Biden.
Trump recently called a radio show hosted in part by his attorney Rudy Giuliani and, while congratulating the hosts on a Merry Christmas, optimistically stated that his team and others “have uncovered voter fraud, the biggest voter fraud in history.
He stressed, “This is the most corrupt election this country has ever had.”
Giuliani over the weekend urged counties in key states to allow his team to inspect voting machines. He said they would be able to prove there was election fraud if they were allowed to inspect.
“The number one thing is these machines, (for) every machine that we’ve inspected, you know what the results are,” Trump said.
“The machines as well as the signature verification. Let’s look at the signatures in Fulton County, Georgia, and a couple of other places. Let’s look at those signatures and you’ll see that hundreds of thousands of signatures either don’t exist or are forged.”
A Fulton County spokeswoman did not respond to a request for comment.
Georgia began a statewide signature match Monday, but Trump said they are not going to do it appropriately.
“They’re not starting in the proper locations. They’re starting in areas where it’s not a big problem. Even though they still find a lot (of problems) in those areas, they should have let us do the signature count in the proper locations. (If that had been done,) you would have seen hundreds of thousands of forged signatures or signatures that didn’t exist at all,” he said.
