President Donald Trump on Friday called for the appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate the 2020 presidential election, alleging his oft-repeated claim that the race was fraught with fraud.
In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump wrote, “Biden was grossly incompetent, and the 2020 election was a total FRAUD!” He added that there is “MASSIVE and OVERWHELMING” evidence of fraud and called for a special prosecutor to ensure such an outcome “cannot be allowed to happen again.”
Trump’s renewed demand revisits a claim many have made since Trump’s 2020 loss to President Joe Biden, when, campaigning from his basement, Biden managed to lose all but one bellwether county in the entire nation, and yet still win the election with 81,283,501 votes. His unbelievable vote count set an all-time record and exceeded President Barack Obama’s previous record of 61,000,000 votes by 17%.
Several failed court challenges and investigations found no evidence of widespread fraud. But that came before a declassified FBI document, made public by FBI Director Kash Patel on June 16 and dated Sept. 25, 2020, from the FBI’s Albany, New York field office, showed that the Chinese Communist Party planned to produce and ship fake US driver’s licenses to facilitate fraudulent mail-in ballots in favor of Joe Biden. The document may prove that the CCP aimed to exploit mail-in voting by creating voter identities for Chinese residents in the US to cast these ballots. Customs and Border Protection data supports concerns about fraudulent documents, noting 1,513 seizures of fake documents, including 19,888 counterfeit US driver’s licenses, at Chicago O’Hare International Airport in the first half of 2020, mostly from China and Hong Kong.
The social media post comes amid a broader push by Trump to point out Biden’s cognitive decline and use of auto-pen to sign many important documents, including over 8,000 pardons and commutations. During his final weeks in office, Biden’s signature was done by auto-pen on all pardons except that of his son, Hunter Biden, whose pardon was signed by hand.
Trump’s call also follows a major legal win for his defense team last year, when a federal judge he appointed ruled that the appointment of Special Counsel Jack Smith was invalid. Smith had been tasked with investigating Trump’s actions surrounding the 2020 election and his retention of classified materials. The judge found that Smith’s appointment by then-Attorney General Merrick Garland lacked Senate confirmation, leading to the dismissal of the case.
As of June 20, no new special prosecutor has been appointed to investigate the 2020 election, and it remains unclear whether such a move would be legally or politically viable, especially considering Trump’s own legal precedent challenging special counsel appointments of Biden.
Our Dear Leader is intent on fabricating a new “truth, no matter the consequences ☠️
Evidence demands a verdict. If you could remove your TDS glasses long enough to see that, you might not have spouted off. We’re all assuming you were more than happy to follow blindly President Autopen, right?
What we should demand an answer to: who gave the order to stop counting votes in the swing states on the night of November 3/4, 2020?
Come on Matt Gaetz!
Was the Alaska voter database hacked or leaked about that time?

I’m sure it’s nothing. Nothing to be worried about. Nothing to be concerned about. Nothing to do with not requiring signatures on ballots, or anything at all.
Make America Great Again!
Yes please. Get it done expeditiously… the data is mostly already there. This is very important.
Wow, stop and think a moment where we would be if those same record number of votes had been cast for the kackling Kamala Harris and her sideshow Tampon Timmy Walz.
Scary thought huh? I cant begin to fathom that possible reality.
Noted NYC naturalist, hiker, animal and nature lover Donald Trump wants to turn over federal lands to developers. What a surprise. It’s worth noting that, late in his career, Adolf Hitler was also quite delusional and detached from reality, convinced that he was always the smartest person in the room.
