Trump casts 'election interference' label on everything while facing federal charges
Donald Trump has never stopped propagating falsehoods that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from him. But now, he is increasingly turning his attention toward pre-emptive claims the 2024 election is being rigged
MILWAUKEE — Former President Donald Trump has never stopped propagating falsehoods that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from him. But now, he is increasingly turning his attention to pre-emptive claims the 2024 election is being rigged to prevent him from returning to the White House.
This year, Trump and his campaign have cited more than a dozen examples of so-called election interference activities by Americans to claim the coming election is being unfairly manipulated. But as general election voting begins around the country, the campaign has provided no evidence of actual cheating and no specific allegations related to potentially illegal efforts by Americans to tamper with this fall’s election proceedings.
“The Democrat Party is guilty of the Worst Election Interference in American History,” Trump wrote Wednesday on social media after the judge overseeing his federal election interference case in Washington released a redacted filing from special counsel Jack Smith. Trump went on to call the release “another obvious attempt by the Harris-Biden regime to…INTERFERE IN THE 2024 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.”
There is no evidence of wrongdoing by the judge or by prosecutors in the case in the latest instance of Trump’s flippantly and without evidence alleging “election interference” by perceived foes.
Earlier this week, the subject of his ire was the Secret Service.
