GA Judge Indicates Fulton Co Absentee Ballots May be Unsealed for Fraud Investigation
Having every right to be upset, President Donald Trump felt vindicated when the Washington Post had to issue a correction when they posted an article claiming he directed a Georgia elections investigator to “find the fraud.” Trump used the opportunity to speak out against the Washington Post, condemning them along with other media organizations and also bringing up the fraud and vote-rigging that occurred in November’s election.
“While I appreciate the Washington Post’s correction, which immediately makes the Georgia Witch Hunt a non-story, the original story was a Hoax, right from the very beginning,” he said in a statement sent by his Save America political action committee.
He also used the episode to call for an investigation into the way the election was run in the state’s most populous county and into Democratic leader Stacey Abrams’s political operation.
It suggests the former president is still stewing over the manner of his defeat last year and is looking for opportunities to attack rivals and question the results in several swing states he lost to President Biden. His own Justice Department last year announced it was unable to find evidence of the widespread voter fraud he claimed.
The controversy stems from one of a number of calls Trump made to Georgia officials as he sought to overturn the state’s result.
While thanking the Washington Post for their correction, Trump stated, “Look no further than the negative coverage of the vaccine that preceded the election and the overdue celebration of the vaccine once the election had concluded. A strong democracy requires a fair and honest press. This latest media travesty underscores that legacy media outlets should be regarded as political entities — not journalistic enterprises.”
