Trump Calls for Special Prosecutor to Probe Alleged 2020 Election Fraud

President Donald Trump has reignited his long-standing claim that the 2020 election was stolen, demanding a special prosecutor to probe what he calls a "total FRAUD." In a fiery Truth Social post on Friday, Trump contrasted his administration’s border security record—boasting zero crossings in May—with the Biden administration’s release of 62,000 migrants during the same period last year. He then pivoted to the election, asserting that Biden’s victory was illegitimate, backed by what he described as "MASSIVE and OVERWHELMING" evidence of fraud.

Trump’s allegations center on unproven claims of late-night ballot drops and other irregularities in swing states, themes he echoed during his 2024 campaign with the slogan "too big to rig." Despite numerous failed lawsuits in 2020—dismissed for lack of evidence or standing—and no credible proof of widespread fraud, Trump insists the election was rigged. Former Attorney General Bill Barr and the Department of Homeland Security’s cybersecurity arm have both dismissed these claims, with the latter calling 2020 "the most secure election in American history."

The call for a special prosecutor, potentially under Attorney General Pam Bondi, raises questions about who might lead such an investigation and whether it would carry legal weight. Trump’s rhetoric remains a rallying cry for supporters, framing the 2020 election as a cornerstone of his political narrative.
