Trump Camp "Will Continue Election Contest Lawsuits"... Allegations of Election Interference in Venezuela and Others Raised

Press Conference by Legal Advisors Including Giuliani
Conspiracy Theories Raised but No Evidence Presented

[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] Donald Trump's U.S. presidential election campaign has expressed its intention to continue legal battles challenging the election results. The Trump campaign's legal advisory team has raised conspiracy theories without presenting evidence to prove election fraud and has announced additional legal proceedings.

On the 19th (local time), legal advisors including Rudolph Giuliani, former New York City mayor and personal attorney to President Trump, held a press conference to declare their intention to continue lawsuits contesting this year's U.S. presidential election results.

Former Mayor Giuliani stated, "We will file additional lawsuits in Georgia, and probably continue litigation in Arizona as well." He said, "The Trump campaign has submitted extensive evidence supporting claims of election fraud," and urged, "Please trust the credibility of the lawyers who have filed these lawsuits." He also mentioned, "No one is living in a fantasy."

Most lawsuits from the Trump campaign that could have changed the election outcome have been dismissed or lost.

Election advisor Jenna Ellis criticized the media for demanding evidence related to election fraud. She said, "The media's question of 'Where is the evidence?' is fundamentally problematic," adding, "The Trump campaign will reveal those in court."

Conspiracy theories continued. Sidney Powell, former attorney to Michael Flynn, the first National Security Advisor under the Trump administration, claimed that funds from communist countries such as Venezuela, Cuba, and possibly China flowed into the U.S. election. She also alleged that Dominion Voting Systems, the company supplying electronic voting machines to about 30 states, had connections with former Venezuelan President Hugo Ch?vez and billionaire George Soros. She claimed, "Dominion Voting Systems helped Biden win."

However, foreign media reported that even within the Trump administration, allegations of vote manipulation were denied. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), responsible for election security, stated regarding this election, "There is no evidence that voting systems were compromised," denying related suspicions.
