VOA's Celia Mendoza reports on Donald Trump's indictment, August 18, 2023.

👉 Former U.S. President Donald Trump now says he won't be holding a press conference next week to unveil what he claims is new evidence of fraud in the 2020 election in #Georgia, citing the advice of his lawyers.

No compelling evidence of the wide-scale fraud Trump alleges has emerged in the 2½ years since the election. Republican officials in the state — where three recounts confirmed Trump's loss to President Joe Biden — have long said he lost legitimately.

"Rather than releasing the Report on the Rigged & Stolen Georgia 2020 Presidential Election on Monday, my lawyers would prefer putting this, I believe, Irrefutable & Overwhelming evidence of Election Fraud & Irregularities in formal Legal Filings as we fight to dismiss this disgraceful Indictment," he wrote on his social media site Thursday evening. He added, "Therefore, the News Conference is no longer necessary!"

Trump had announced that he would be holding the event hours after a grand jury voted to charge him and others in a sweeping alleged conspiracy to illegally overturn the results of the 2020 election and stop the peaceful transition of power. #trump #indictment #republican #democrat #news #voanews
