Recent disclosures by the Department of Justice and the FBI have former President Donald Trump enraged.
Trump challenged on Monday that he should be declared the winner of the 2020 election, he cited both fraud and election interference by the FBI.
The former president is focusing on reports that the FBI worked to bury the story about Hunter Biden’s laptop on social media just before the election in 2020.
Trump wrote on social media, “This is massive FRAUD & ELECTION INTERFERENCE at a level never seen before in our Country.”
The former president said that the FBI purposefully tried to stop him from winning the last presidential election and he proposed two possible solutions to this travesty.
“REMEDY: Declare the rightful winner or, and this would be the minimal solution, declare the 2020 Election irreparably compromised and have a new Election, immediately!” Trump wrote.
No one knows exactly how a presidential election could be declared fraudulent and it is even more unclear how an election could be redone through the court system. The biggest question would be if the Constitution would even allow such a move by the courts.
This issue is a hot topic because Facebook’s founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg revealed some damaging information in an interview with podcaster Joe Rogan. He said that the FBI warned his company of an imminent “dump” of Russian propaganda” and asked them to be on “high alert” right before the Hunter Biden laptop story broke. This was just days before people went to the voting booth.
The FBI is not denying Zuckerberg’s story.
Facebook did censor the story as disinformation right before the 2020 election although it ultimately proved to be factual.
“Yeah. I mean, it sucks. I mean, it turned out after the fact, I mean the fact-checkers looked into it, no one was able to say it was false, right?” Zuckerberg admitted to Rogan. “So basically it had this period where it was getting less distribution.”
