Former President Donald Trump canceled his Monday news conference at his New Jersey golf club, where he planned to present “a complete exoneration” from criminal charges he's facing.
However, Trump officially scrapped the idea last night following advice from his legal team. (RELATED: Attorney Defending Trump Doesn't Pretend To Like Him – Many Believe He's His Best Hope)
As Politico reports:
Former President Donald Trump will no longer hold a news conference nor release a supposed extensive report that he previously said would clear him and his allies of wrongdoing in the wake of his latest indictment by a Georgia grand jury, he said on Thursday.
Trump on Tuesday announced the plans to hold the news conference, the morning after a Fulton County grand jury levied a racketeering charge against him and 18 of his allies over efforts to unravel the results of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia.
…
Thursday's reversal comes after The New York Times reported Tuesday that Trump's lawyers and advisers had grown increasingly concerned about the information the former President shares publicly as his legal woes grow.
Trump, the current frontrunner in the Republican presidential primary, is facing four indictments, including two federal indictments for his efforts to subvert the results of the 2020 election in the days leading up to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, and for classified documents he is accused of removing from the White House and failing to return. He is also facing charges in New York related to hush money payments made to a porn star ahead of the 2016 presidential election.
Georgia Governor Brian Kemp (R) was among the first to respond to Trump's unsubstantiated claims of wide-scale fraud.

Hope so & focus energies where needed
Trump just doesn’t get it, it is illegal for truth to be spoken to evil in this nation! It might give the slaves ideas that the communist elites don’t want them to have!
STOP calling him “former”!!!!
Curiously, I wonder why Kemp doesn’t want to find fraud in Fulton?
Because Kemp is a globalist disguised as a Republican. He is as crooked and evil as Obama, Biden, Clinton, Pelosi, Schumer, McConnell, et. al.
Exactly. Why put your defense out in the public for prosecutors to pick at before the trial?
willis and brag in a double hillary bag!
Trump’s “unsubstantiated” claim of widespread voter FRAUD is TRUE . . . and there are laws PROPOSED to STOP it.
Trump has every right to find this madness, this horrendous mistake made by some
half baked liberal prosecutor who should be disbarred after leaking from the grand jury & a document which appeared on the website to early. Kemp needs to clean up his mess with Willis & Raffensperger who are pathological liars. This makes Kemp look foolish. He needs to can both of them. This is why this state has problem after problem with elections such as 2020 which has never been resolved.
