Former President Donald Trump has announced plans to hold a press conference on Monday, August 21, responding to his recent indictment by a Fulton County grand jury in Georgia. The charges are tied to Trump’s efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
Trump made the announcement amidst ongoing legal proceedings following his indictment. The charges were brought forth by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who focused on alleged efforts by Trump and his allies to reverse the outcome of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia.
The former president claims he will use this press conference to present new evidence of what he calls “presidential election fraud.” According to reports, Trump has vowed to release an “irrefutable” report that he believes will exonerate him of the charges he currently faces.
Trump promised the press conference will contain a “Large, Complex, Detailed but Irrefutable REPORT” in a post on Truth Social, adding that the report should result in his exoneration.

The charges center around five key conspiracies involving Trump and 18 co-defendants, each charged with racketeering in the Georgia 2020 election probe. If convicted, the former president could potentially face up to 20 years in prison for a racketeering charge.
While the specifics of the allegations remain under wraps, it is clear that they revolve around actions taken during the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election. At the time, Trump and his team launched multiple legal challenges against the results, particularly in battleground states like Georgia where the vote was close.
The press conference will serve as a platform for Trump to publicly address these charges. This event marks another chapter in the ongoing narrative surrounding the 2020 presidential election, its results, and the subsequent legal and political fallout.
As the date of the press conference approaches, all eyes will be on Georgia and Trump’s response to the indictment. With both supporters and critics closely watching, the former president’s statements are likely to spark further discussions about the integrity of the 2020 election.
