"Trump's Unsubstantiated Accusations and Falsehoods: The Latest in the Hush-Money Trial and Biden's Involvement"

Former President Donald Trump repeated baseless claims that President Joe Biden orchestrated his legal trials in New York, despite there being no evidence to support these allegations. The criminal and civil cases against Trump are being led by elected officials such as Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and New York Attorney General Letitia James, and there is no indication of Biden's involvement. Additionally, there is no evidence to support Trump's claims that Biden orchestrated the move of a former Justice Department official to the Manhattan district attorney's office.

Congolese Governments Denounce Trump's Baseless Stories About Emptied Prisons

The governments of the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Republic of Congo have denounced former President Donald Trump's baseless claims that their countries have emptied prisons to send violent criminals to the US border as migrants. Both countries have stated that Trump's assertions are entirely false, with no evidence to support them. Experts, media databases, and federal figures also found no evidence to corroborate Trump's claims, which have been part of a pattern of unsubstantiated stories about foreign countries supposedly sending undesirable migrants to the US.

"Trump Baselessly Accuses Biden of Conspiring Against U.S. at N.C. Immigration Speech"

Former President Donald Trump made baseless claims at rallies in North Carolina and Virginia, alleging without evidence that President Biden was encouraging migrants to enter the country and vote illegally. Trump also suggested, without evidence, that Biden's border policy amounted to a "conspiracy to overthrow the United States of America." These claims are part of Trump's ongoing promotion of widespread and frequently debunked assertions of voter fraud in the 2020 election.

Rudy Giuliani faces defamation trial for targeting election workers

A former Georgia election worker, Wandrea "Shaye" Moss, testified in a defamation trial against Rudy Giuliani, who was found liable for defaming Moss and her mother with baseless claims of election fraud. Moss detailed the negative impact the false allegations had on her life, including anxiety, weight gain, and isolation. Jurors also watched recorded deposition videos of investigators who found no evidence to support the fraud claims. Giuliani's attorney argued that the damages sought by Moss and her mother would be excessive, while the judge questioned Giuliani's contradictory statements and defiance of court orders. The trial will determine the amount of damages Giuliani will have to pay.

"New Book Reveals Trump's Private Fascination with Baseless Reinstatement Theory"

Former President Donald Trump became fixated on a fringe conspiracy theory that he could be reinstated as president long after leaving office and before the next election, according to a new book by Jonathan Karl. The theory, unsupported by law and clearly unconstitutional, gained traction among some of Trump's most devoted followers, including MyPillow CEO Michael Lindell. Despite lacking evidence, Trump privately discussed the notion of being reinstated, leading some advisers to worry that he genuinely believed he could force President Joe Biden out of the White House. Even staunch allies like former Rep. Mo Brooks distanced themselves from the theory, with Brooks refusing Trump's request to publicly support his reinstatement.

Trump Campaign Pushes Baseless Election Plot Claim, Calls for Cancellation of Future Debates

Two advisers to former President Donald J. Trump's campaign, Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita, have called on the Republican National Committee (R.N.C.) to cancel the upcoming debate and end all future debates, claiming without evidence that Democrats are working to "steal" the 2024 election. The statement follows a playbook used by Trump in previous elections, where he pre-emptively suggested that upcoming elections would be rigged against him. The R.N.C., which is formally neutral in the primary, has not responded to the request. Trust in the security of U.S. elections among Republicans has plummeted since Trump's false claims about the 2020 election, leading to the storming of the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
