Currently, he can no longer post on either platform.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, Trump has continued to spread lies about the 2020 election, baselessly claiming that he won, even though state and local election officials, his own attorney general and numerous judges, including some he appointed, have said there is no evidence of the mass voter fraud he alleges.<\/p>\n<p>Trump is set to make the announcement at an event at his Bedminster, New Jersey golf course Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.denverpost.com\/2021\/07\/07\/ap-source-trump-plans-lawsuit-against-facebook-twitter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON &#8212;
