President Donald Trump teased a major release of evidence that he claimed supports his long-held view the 2020 election was “rigged.”
“We won in 2016. The election was rigged in 2020. We have all the ammunition, all this stuff, and you’ll see it come out. It’s coming out in truckloads,” Trump said at a White House Christmas reception on Sunday.
The president also recalled his 2024 win over former Vice President Kamala Harris, a vote margin he suggested was “too big to rig.”
“I said, ‘Go out and vote! You got to go out and vote and make it too big to rig,’” Trump recalled, in what was a flashback to a slogan he deployed on the campaign trail.
Trump’s remarks on potential evidence supporting his stolen election claims comes as his Justice Department recently sued Fulton County, Georgia, a state that Trump narrowly lost to Joe Biden in 2020 and is nonetheless at the center of those allegations.
Biden won over 70% of the vote in Fulton County in 2020, though only beat out Trump in Georgia by less than 1%.
JUSTICE DEPARTMENT SUES FULTON COUNTY TO OBTAIN RECORDS RELATED TO 2020 ELECTION
The DOJ is seeking access to ballots and other election materials from the 2020 race to investigate Fulton County’s “compliance with federal election law.”
Specifically, the lawsuit demands county election officials hand over “all used and void ballots, stubs of all ballots, signature envelopes, and corresponding envelope digital files from the 2020 General Election.”
