According to a report by The Raw Story on Saturday, December 2, 2023, in a campaign event held in Ankeny, Iowa, former President Donald Trump stirred controversy by expressing his desire for judges to allow the “prosecution” of the 2020 election.
Trump, accompanied by his legal team, boldly asserted that they possess an abundance of evidence supporting his claim that the election was stolen from him in favor of President Joe Biden.
During his address, Trump shed light on the belief that the 2020 election was “rigged,” citing assurances he received that victory would be secured if certain metrics were met.
Despite claiming to have met these metrics, Trump insisted that he lost the election, sparking doubt and suspicion.
The former president then shifted the focus to the legal challenges he currently faces in connection with the 2020 election.
Trump expressed his hope to present evidence of election fraud in a court of law, emphasizing the importance of learning from history to avoid repeating alleged mistakes.
“If the judges allow us — somebody’s gotta allow this thing to be prosecuted,” Trump exclaimed.
“We wanna show how we won the election, not for… what we want to do, is we want to win this one that’s coming up because it’s a lot simpler.
Think of the future. But you have to learn from history. If you don’t learn from history, you’re a fool.”
Returning to the topic of the 2020 election, Trump reiterated his claim of possessing substantial evidence, stating:
“So I hope that’s going to happen because we have so much evidence. We know it and they know it”.
“The only thing they don’t want to talk about is the election because they’re guilty as hell. They cheated.”
The former president’s bold statements have sparked debates and discussions across the political spectrum, with supporters rallying behind him and critics dismissing his claims as baseless.
The ongoing controversy surrounding the 2020 election has remained a divisive issue in American politics, contributing to the polarization that has characterized recent years.
Meanwhile, an investigation by the Washington Post revealed that Donald Trump’s use of his presidential pardon power before leaving office is proving lucrative for his 2024 presidential campaign.
Recipients of Trump’s clemency are reportedly showering his campaign with nearly $1.8 million in donations, further fueling speculation about his potential return to the Oval Office.
