The Politico newspaper said on Nov. 13 that the legal machine in the Trump campaign, which brought a series of lawsuits in the battlefield states and important in the U.S. elections, is slowly coming to a halt after a series of failures. legal. .
Get a lot of failures
In an effort to stop the results of the vote count that led to rival Joe Biden’s victory, Trump’s legal team has filed lawsuits in various state and federal courts. So far, though, his only victory is the Pennsylvania court’s Nov. 12 decision, which ordered no vote counting with the addition of post-Sept. 11 voter identification information, which could increase. up to thousands of votes.
During the process, Trump’s attorneys abruptly dropped major allegations, were recalled in court for dishonesty, and even admitted that they had no evidence to support the fraud in court. vote.
In another Pennsylvania ruling on Nov. 13, Trump lost again because the court favored the state’s approach of counting absentee ballots after Election Day, which could give Biden more votes.
A lawyer for Trump on the night of November 12 filed a lawsuit in federal court in Washington DC, but sent it to the wrong place. Ben Ginsberg, a former Republican election lawyer, said the lawsuit title also has trouble writing “Donald Trump v. US,” as if Trump wanted to sue the entire United States.
Ginsberg assumed that the lawyers wanted to “appease their clients” by filing lawsuits, but did not expect the lawsuit to be successful due to the lack of evidence of voter fraud.
Overall, the lawsuits in Arizona and Nevada have been dropped so far. The court also dismissed a legal challenge in the state of Georgia due to lack of evidence. Trump’s Pennsylvania attorneys also received a lot of bitter fruit.
Barry Richard, a veteran election law attorney, said Trump’s campaign legal team appears amateurish and fragmented.
Attorney Richard said the Trump campaign faces great challenges. To be successful, the president must show that electoral fraud or deficiencies have not only occurred, but must also occur on a large scale and on a sufficient scale to undo previously announced results.

Trump listened to his adviser, the United States had a week of silence
On the other hand, Politico said that President Trump had listened to the advice of his advisers for the first time, after a week of almost silence, without arguing with reporters, without appearing in Fox News interviews. , do not know the world leaders.
He only appeared with his first short public address on the afternoon of 11-11 US time to discuss the success of the COVID-19 vaccine after Election Day, and without any controversy with the media. lice as always.
Before the speech, advisers urged Trump not to accept the question and focus on the success of a possible COVID-19 vaccine. This time, Trump listened.
Advisers almost encouraged Trump not to speak much after the election, fearing that gossip could affect legal efforts related to the results of the US presidential election. The president mostly followed the advisers, except for the fraudulent claims he wrote on Twitter.
Instead, Trump spent the entire day meeting with advisers, calling on allies and acquaintances such as journalist Geraldo Rivera and Newsmax owner Chris Ruddy.
“I think he’s letting the lawyers do their job. I think he finally understands that he has to win the election with the truth. If that doesn’t happen, he has nothing to say.” “- Said Mr. Newt Gingrich, former speaker of the United States House of Representatives.
Very few White House advisers, allies or employees believe there is hope that the Trump campaign will reverse the results of the US elections. Most of Trump’s lawyers are losing legal battles in key states.
On November 13, the US media announced Mr. Biden’s victory in Georgia, awarding him 306 electoral votes compared to his 232 votes.
