Trump Posts ‘Election Fraud’ Report, Says He ‘Was Not Campaigning’ So He Is ‘Entitled to Total Immunity’
The report is titled 'Summary of Election Fraud in the 2020 Presidential Election in the Swing States'
Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday took to social media to share a report that, according to him, shows "fully verified" election fraud in the 2020 election, claiming that when he was pointing out ballot issues he was not campaigning and thus should be granted presidential immunity in special counsel Jack Smith's investigation into him.
The report shared by Trump is titled "Summary of Election Fraud in the 2020 Presidential Election in the Swing States," and is divided in sections dedicated to Georgia, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona and Michigan.
"I am pleased to share a Report that is fully verified, most of the information was gotten from Government Sources, Tapes, and other Public Records, and compiled by the most highly qualified Election Experts in the Country," Trump wrote on Truth Social without providing evidence of who verified the documents.
According to the former president, the report shows "hundreds of thousands of votes per swing state" that would be more than enough for him to win.
Trump urged the GOP: "If the Republican Senate does not step forward and address this ATROCITY, it will happen again, and be virtually impossible for Republicans to WIN ELECTIONS in the future."
In a second Truth Social post, the former president made his case for "total immunity," in the Smith investigation, saying he was "not campaigning."

"What I was doing is bringing to light the fact that the Election was, without question, Rigged and Stolen," Trump wrote. "If I did not do this, I would have been in violation of my Oath of Office, and the Take Care Clause, which requires the President to 'take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.' "
"Therefore I am entitled to Total Immunity, because that is exactly what I was doing, Taking Care of our Country, and Guarding it from Rigged and Stolen Elections."
Trump's legal team has already argued he should have immunity from prosecution for acts committed while president because under the U.S. government system the judicial branch "cannot sit in judgment over a President's official acts."
Smith told the appeals court the claims were illegitimate, arguing that the claim "threatens to license presidents to commit crimes to remain in office" — a federal appeals panel ultimately agreed.
