Aug 17 (Reuters) - Former U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday he had canceled a press conference scheduled for next week to release a report into the 2020 election in Georgia, saying his attorneys would put his arguments in court filings instead.

Trump said earlier this week that he would hold the press conference on Monday to release a detailed, 100-page report into what he described as "election fraud" in the state of Georgia during the 2020 election he lost to Democrat Joe Biden.

He has been charged in Georgia and in federal court with attempting to overturn those election results.

"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," Trump said on Truth Social.

Therefore, he added, the news conference was no longer necessary.

It still begs the question of why, if Trump has had all this information, he didn't release it at any point in the last two and a half years.

I wonder who convinced him to change his mind?  Maybe his lawyers threatened to quit if he went through with it.  The man just needs to shut up and let his lawyers do their jobs.

An attorney for Trump. Just might be the most frustrating job in the world.

Of course, one of the consequences of cancelling this is that Trump also looks weak and even more of a liar - despite the fact that there are good reasons to not do this - all of which begs the question of what possessed his stupid a$$ to announce this in the first place?

Trump is his own worst enemy, and not only does he weave the rope the democrats plan to hang him with, he helps them tie the knot and pick the tree to hang him from.

And this is the sort of intemperate, unthinking idjut we want to be president again?

Donald is going to release his tax returns as soon as that pesky audit is finished.

I waiting to see if there were new lies or if it would be a clip show of his previous lies.

Because it is the Biggest Show On Earth! You have to lay the groundwork for the big PR reveal, never mind the courts where it actually matters...

It's the art of the deal baby!

The argument from Trump and his supporters going all the way back to 2020 is that the Georgia election was stolen, clear fraud, etc..  They've been making that argument almost non-stop since then, and we've been told by people on this site that we must be blind not to acknowledge it.  So doesn't that necessarily mean that all the evidence must have already been out in the public domain?  Why on earth would Trump have withheld evidence that validates his complaints about Georgia?  It doesn't make a lick of sense.

That leads me to conclude that this "report" is a big pot of nothing.  Likely a bunch of regurgitated "evidence" that already has been out there for a long time, and not nearly as conclusive as has been claimed.
