hap0206, Seriously. That elephant has tiny feet - Debunked: Trump’s false claims in letter to January 6 panel

After last week’s January 6 hearing, in which the committee investigating the attack laid out its most comprehensive case against Donald Trump, the former president released a lengthy response full of recycled disinformation and unverified – and unverifiable – claims.

With a majority of Republicans in this year’s midterms denying or questioning the results of the 2020 election that Trump lost, it’s clear that the GOP has built a core part of its ideology around misleading, inaccurate and outright false assertions. The Guardian decided to fact check each of Trump’s claims in the appendix of his document. What is noticeably absent are any mentions of Dominion, the voting machine manufacturer that filed a $1.7bn lawsuit .. https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2022/09/dominion-fox-news-lawsuit-2020-election .. against Fox for “intentionally and falsely” blaming the company for Donald Trump’s loss.

Here’s what we found.

There is no 'but'. It's just a litany of unfounded assertions, by a truly delusional orange treason weasel, that gained no traction in the courts.
