Among the revelations included in the latest indictment againstDonald Trumpis that the former president allegedly discussed drafting a speech declaring victory and alleging election fraud several days before the 2020 election even took place.
Late Monday night, Trump wasindictedin a fourth criminal investigation, shortly after Georgia prosecutors presented evidence to a grand jury regarding the former president’s efforts to overturn the state’s 2020 election results.
As the indictment notes, Trump “made a nationally televised speech falsely declaring victory in the 2020 election” on Nov. 4, 2020 — days before the vote-counting was actually complete. When the ultimate tally showed that DemocratJoe Bidenwon both the popular and electoral votes, Trump began falsely claiming the election was “rigged” with fraudulent votes.
But according to the indictment, that message was one he had planned even before the election took place.
From the indictment: “Approximately four days [before the 2020 election], on or about October 31, 2020, Donald John Trump discussed a draft speech with unindicted co-conspirator number 1, whose identity is known to the Grand Jury, that falsely declared victory and falsely claimed voter fraud. The speech was an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy.”
