Dem Star Reveals Trump's Crackpot Plan to Target Him

The president is plotting a new and dangerous attack on democracy, this senator warns.

Rising Democratic star Sen. Jon Ossoff reacted to a rumor that President Donald Trump plans to restart an old fight on live television.

Ossoff weighed in on an X post by the conservative D.C. Reporter on Monday that claimed a "well-placed source in Georgia" claimed Trump was planning to announce that Georgia's two Democratic senators, Ossoff and Raphael Warnock, "are illegitimate because of fraud."

The post said the announcement "could come as soon as tonight," ahead of Trump's planned Thursday-night television address to the nation.

The D.C. Reporter account then posted an update to the original claim Ossoff responded to, which clarified, "The White House tells us President Trump's speech will not focus on Georgia's 2020 elections. Georgia Republican source adds to us that they were notified of speech and the upcoming report's initial Georgia election focus in advance."

Trump announced on Truth Social -- in the third person -- that he will speak to the nation at 9 p.m. Thursday, but provided no details about what he would be talking about.

According to MS NOW White House reporter Jake Traylor, Trump will cover "newly declassified intelligence reports that the White House asserts reveal plans by foreign nations to interfere in the 2020 election."

During a phone interview with Newsmax on Monday, Trump declined to share what he would discuss on Thursday evening, but complained about mail-in ballots. "Our elections are crooked and we've got to straighten them out. We've got to have voter ID, we've got to have proof of citizenship, and we have got to do something about the mail-in ballots, which are just corrupt, crooked, and should not be allowed," Trump said.
