Trump calls for special prosecutor to investigate 2020 election, reviving longstanding grievance

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Friday called for the appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate the 2020 election won by Democrat Joe Biden, repeating his baseless claim that the contest was marred by widespread fraud.

“Biden was grossly incompetent, and the 2020 election was a total FRAUD!” Trump said in a social media post in which he also sought to favorably contrast his immigration enforcement approach with that of the former president. “The evidence is MASSIVE and OVERWHELMING. A Special Prosecutor must be appointed. This cannot be allowed to happen again in the United States of America! Let the work begin!”

Trump’s post, made as his Republican White House is consumed by a hugely substantial foreign policy decision on whether to get directly involved in the Israel-Iran war, is part of an amped-up effort by him to undermine the legitimacy of Biden’s presidency. Earlier this month, Trump directed his administration to investigate Biden’s actions as president, alleging aides masked his predecessor’s “cognitive decline.” Biden has dismissed the investigation as “a mere distraction.”

The post also revives a long-running grievance by Trump that the election was stolen even though courts around the country and a Trump attorney general from his first term found no evidence of fraud that could have affected the outcome. The Department of Homeland Security’s cybersecurity arm pronounced the election “the most secure in American history.”

It was unclear what Trump had in mind when he called for a special prosecutor, but in the event Attorney General Pam Bondi heeds his call, she may face pressure to appoint someone who has already been confirmed by the...

This propaganda is nothing but an illegal political contribution-in-kind for which the executives at the Associated Propaganda need to be hauled into court for.

Hey AP, let me rewrite this like a real journalist would:

”President Donald Trump on Friday called for the appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate the 2020 election allegedly won by Democrat Joe Biden, repeating his and millions of other American’s contention that the contest was marred by widespread fraud.”

Miserable, propagandizing, presstitute whores.

"reviving long standing grievance."

This is why AP is banned from the Oval Office.

Let me give this a shot. Just a hunch on my part but maybe, Trump would like to see a special prosecutor appointed to invest unusual activity around the 2020 general election, perhaps? Hopefully, that clears it up for Tucker.

The brainiac Tucker does realize that all the "proof" he cites was before the latest revelations from the FBI that evidence about election tampering was suppressed? The press has as much credibility in declaring this issue "debunked" as they do in declaring the reports of Biden's failing mind as "debunked." The press could be a perfect reverse barometer - anytime they declare something as "debunked" an investigation should be immediately opened.

I believe there was fraud in 2020 but also believe this is a mistake by Trump, look forward, not back and go for election integrity not ta $s for another special prosecutor, MSM will just do as AP has just done, “baseless claims” and what will a special prosecutor do other than issue another report

Well it’s not ‘Baseless’ since there is evidence of China tampering now.

I think it should be investigated, because in order for the Republic to function we need to know that voting matters.

If the correct end game here is realized, 98% of the media will be clearly shown as the frauds they are.

This will be battled from Day 1.

You can include 85% of Congresss in that as well.
