Donald Trump’s Lawyer, Rudy Giuliani Says He Will Not Concede Defeat

According to CBS News, the president’s attorney disclosed this at a press conference shortly after Joe Biden was projected to become the 46th president of the United States.

Media Can't Decide Who The Next US President Is Because Election Is Far From Over —Donald Trump


“He’s not going to concede when at least 600,000 ballots are in question,” Giuliani said in Philadelphia on Saturday. 

He claimed without evidence that ballots were tampered with in Pennsylvania, the state that gave Biden the crucial Electoral College votes necessary to win the White House. 

He was joined by three poll watchers who claimed they were prevented from adequately monitoring the ballot counting process. 

Giuliani said he has statements from 25 watchers and has spoken to a total of 50 with similar stories.

“I could have brought about 50 with me,” Giuliani said, but he said he did not because “50 is too many,” and some were afraid of retribution.

According to Giuliani, the Trump campaign plans to file several federal lawsuits alleging the “uniform deprivation of the right to inspect” ballots.

He accused the “Democratic machine in Philadelphia” of tampering with counting, and “(keeping) the votes of dead people secret,” among other baseless accusations.

“Seems to me somebody from the Democratic National Committee sent out a note that said don’t let the Republicans look at those mail-in ballots,” Giuliani claimed, again without offering any evidence.

He claimed that Biden is gaining a lead in the state vote count after Election Day is proof of corruption.

LIVE UPDATES: United States 2020 Presidential Election Results


President Trump initially led in Pennsylvania but lost that lead after unprecedented numbers of mail-in ballots — which under state law are not allowed to be counted before Election Day — pushed Biden ahead. 

“You just don’t lose leads like that without corruption,” Giuliani said, though it is not unusual for early leads to shift as more votes are tallied.

Asked about the call for President-elect Biden by major news networks, Giuliani mocked the media for harbouring “hateful biases” toward President Trump. “Networks don’t get to decide elections, courts do,” he said.
