Trump heeds attorneys' advice, cancels press conference on election fraud claims

Former President Donald Trump cancels a planned news conference where he claimed to have new evidence of election fraud in Georgia's 2020 presidential election, citing the advice of his lawyers as he faces trial in two criminal cases related to his election lies. Despite no compelling evidence of widespread fraud emerging, Trump had previously announced the conference to release a report that would supposedly exonerate him. Republican officials in Georgia have repeatedly confirmed President Joe Biden's win, and courts have rejected Trump's fraud allegations. Trump's renewed attacks on Georgia's vote drew criticism from Republican figures, including Governor Brian Kemp and former Vice President Mike Pence. Trump is also facing criminal charges in Florida and New York.
