Donald Trump hasn’t backed down from defending his post-2020 election actions, stating he had a valid “reason” for his protest, alongside 18 co-defendants in Georgia and others associated with the January 6 insurrection.
In a recent post on his Truth Social page, Trump emphasized that those targeted by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and Special Counsel Jack Smith had legitimate grounds for their actions.
He hints at a potential revelation, saying, “The 2020 election was Rigged and Stollen, the probable cause for your protest.”
However, challenges arise as Trump faces allegations of trying to upend the 2020 election and being a part of the insurrection planning.
While motives can sometimes offer leniency, like in self-defense cases, it’s questionable whether Trump’s “reason” would stand in a court of law. Interestingly, other co-defendants have maintained silence on whether they align with Trump’s statements.
