At issue is Mr. Trump’s continued assertion that widespread election fraud involving mail-in ballots created a faux win for President-elect Joseph R. Biden.
The president and his legal team have vowed to exhaust every constitutional option in an attempt to prove himself the election’s rightful victor.
“I thought it would be some time, decades from now, when the US collapsed into a fascist dictatorship,” Mr. Baldwin added Sunday. “Muting/threatening critics of a regime indifferent to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent, law-abiding citizens. Which the administration caused. Trump is a murderer.”
The actor’s tweets throughout the year test the platform’s terms of service, which state: “We have a zero-tolerance policy against violent threats. Those deemed to be sharing violent threats will face immediate and permanent suspension of their account. “We prohibit content that wishes, hopes, promotes, or expresses a desire for death, serious and lasting bod
His statement met with skepticism from Tim Graham, director of media analysis for the conservative Media Research Center.
“He [Baron] said it wasn’t a Trump slogan, which was a bald-faced lie,” Mr. Graham said. “They put it up in February 2017 and said it was ‘for readers who have come to us for the first time over the last year.’ Well, what does that mean? The idea that this wasn’t caused by Trump is preposterous.”
FACT CHECK: False. Obviously a reaction to Trump’s election.
When they first put the slogan on the front page in February 2017, they claimed this too. But said it “conveys who we are to the many millions of readers who have come to us for the first time OVER THE LAST YEAR.” https://t.co/1ayn6PMcjF
The president also met at the White House on Monday with a group of conservative House lawmakers who plan to reject President-elect Joseph R. Biden’s electoral votes from contested states when Congress meets Jan. 6.
The president and his top lawyer, Rudolph W. Giuliani, continued to push publicly on Monday their claims for investigations of voting machines and alleged election fraud in swing states won by Mr. Biden.
“Big news coming out of Pennsylvania,” Mr. Trump tweeted. “Very big illegal ballot drop that cannot be accounted for. Rigged Election!”
Mr. Giuliani said he wants to “find out, once and for all, did Biden cheat to become president like he cheated to get through law school?” (Mr. Biden long ago admitted he plagiarized a paper in law school in 1965. The faculty allowed him to repeat the course, after initially flunking him.)
She said Mr. Biden’s interviews of attorney general candidates will not include a discussion of the investigation of his son’s taxes and business dealings with China.
Accusations of nepotism, corruption and influence peddling have swirled around Hunter Biden since his father was vice president in the Obama administration. Mr. Weiss’ probe, which Hunter Biden acknowledged this month, is the first time the public has seen the feds go after him.
Republicans want Mr. Weiss shielded from being fired, but there is little they can do beyond marshaling public opinion in support of the probe.
GOP lawmakers also are pushing for a special counsel to handle the matter, which President Trump is considering as one of his final actions before leaving office Jan. 20.
