Co-chair of the Republican National Committee, Lara Trump, has described the new release of a 165-page short by federal prosecutors in her father-in-law Donald Trump‘s election fraud case as a “ridiculous ploy” and as a “ridiculous ploy” that attempts to influence voters just months before the election. During an appearance on CNN’s Speak show ‘ State of the Union’, she expressed concern over the schedule of the short, which seeks to encourage US District Judge Tanya Chutkan that Trump’s alleged actions following the 2020 election were private, more than established, and so reasonable for indictment, as reported by Newsweek.
The brief was partly unsealed on Wednesday, detailing accusations against Trump, who faces four felony counts in connection with efforts to overturn President Joe Biden‘s election victory, culminating in the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. Trump has entered a not-guilty plea, claiming that the prosecution’s motivations are political.
Lara Trump echoed that the former president will” of course” accept the election’s results “if he feels that this is a free, fair and transparent election”.
A conversation between Trump and an unnamed White House aide during the Capitol riot was one of the revelations made in the filing. The aide informed Trump that then-vice president Mike Pence had to be evacuated due to potential danger, to which Trump reportedly responded,” So what”? Dana Bash, the host, questioned Laura Trump about this alleged reaction, and criticized the prevailing political theory regarding January 6.
According to her,” the January 6 incident has been made more plausible by the timing of the allegations,” adding that Democrats have no faith in vice president Kamala Harris as a candidate.
Legal experts have described the allegations made against Trump as “pretty damning,” along with additional allegations that alleged that a Trump campaign staffer was allegedly encouraging unrest during the Detroit vote count. Furthermore, Trump is accused of telling family members aboard Marine One that “it does n’t matter if you won or lost the election. You still have to fight like a boss, according to a White House official who was willing to testify.
Trump has dismissed the allegations as a “hit job” and continued to maintain that the 2020 election was stolen, insisting he would only accept the results of the 2024 election if it is “free, fair, and transparent”. Meanwhile, his federal trial is set to proceed after the November elections, with Trump required to respond to Smith’s filing by November 7.
