Trump vows ‘long term prison sentences’ for people he falsely accuses of ‘cheating’ in the 2020 election

They’re afraid of that more than anything else.” Also this week, in an interview with podcaster Lex Fridman released Tuesday, Trump repeated familiar election fraud claims — but also admitted that he “lost by a whisker” in 2020. And when you can’t challenge an election, you have to be able to challenge it, otherwise it’s going to get worse, not better.” Meanwhile, late last month, Trump faced a superseding indictment in the federal case over his attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, after the Supreme Court ruled in July that he has some “immunity” from prosecution. Trump faces separate criminal charges for allegedly trying to cheat in the 2020 election, in part, by pressuring state officials in Georgia to “find” him enough votes to overturn his defeat.
