President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani (76), makes new accusations of electoral fraud, this time against his.
– I am ashamed of them, Giuliani writes in a tweet on Friday, about the “Republican Legislature”, which can be translated directly into legislative Republicans.
– They have completely deceived the president and me. All Republicans, let them know what we think of them.
It is unclear exactly what and whom Giuliani is referring to in this tweet. But in a message on the same platform, posted a few minutes earlier, he apparently accuses Republicans in Pennsylvania of covering up what he claimed was the Democrats’ attempted election fraud.
He writes that Republicans in Pennsylvania have no explanation for how, according to him, 700,000 votes by mail could have been counted more than the number of registered ballots received.
– Why cover up the Democratic crime? he writes.
Giuliani has assumed responsibility for taking several of the Trump campaign cases to court after the presidential election. Among other things, he has called the election result a “massive fraud”.

Not giving up
On Thursday, Republicans again tried to get the Supreme Court to block incoming President Joe Biden’s victory in the state of Pennsylvania.
Biden won the state with around 80,000 votes and the state authorities approved and verified the result of the elections. But Trump continues to claim that he won.
– We won Pennsylvania by many votes. And we earn a lot in the tip states, he said during a press conference in late November.
He defends his claims that the election result comes from cheating.
However, the Trump campaign has been unable to prove voter fraud in any of the dozens of lawsuits that have reached the courts since Election Day.

Since Election Day in November, Trump, however, has managed to raise around $ 207.5 million, which is equivalent to NOK 1.8 billion.
“These staggering numbers show that President Trump remains the leader and powerhouse of the Republican Party, and that his supporters are dedicated to fighting for a just and legitimate election result,” campaign manager Bill Stepien said in a statement. .
Thunderous speech from the lifelong conservator
However, in the wake of the elections, several Republicans have begun to distance themselves from the Trump camp’s unwillingness to accept electoral defeat.
Republican Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker, among other things, called Trump’s allegations of voter fraud “unfounded.”
Gabriel Sterling, head of Georgia’s voting system and a longtime conservative, has also expressed anger after several Georgia presidential candidates have endured harassment and threats.
– I can’t begin to explain how angry I am with this right now. “All Americans, citizens of Georgia, Republicans and Democrats should be equally angry,” he said at a news conference Tuesday.

– It must stop. Mr President, you have not condemned the language or the actions. This must end. We need you to stand up, and if you want to be a leader, you have to lead, he said of the threats and harassment that have been reported in the state.
In his first television interview since Election Day, incoming President Joe Biden also said he has received congratulations from more Republicans than from those who have congratulated him in public.
“Several sitting Republican senators called me privately and congratulated me,” Biden told CNN.
– I understand the situation they are in. Until the Electoral College finally decides the elections, they are in a very difficult situation.
