Trump Thanks The Washington Post for Issuing Correction To Story on Call With Georgia Investigator

Former President Donald Trump is expressing his appreciation to The Washington Post for issuing a correction to a two-month-old story that claimed he urged Georgia elections investigator Frances Watson to “find the fraud.”

In a lengthy statement on Monday afternoon, he said, “The Washington Post just issued a correction as to the contents of the incorrectly reported phone call I had with respect to voter fraud in the Great State of Georgia.”

“While I appreciate the Washington Post’s correction, which immediately makes the Georgia Witch Hunt a non-story, the original story was a Hoax, right from the very beginning,” he added.

“I would further appreciate a strong investigation into Fulton County, Georgia, and the Stacey Abrams political machine which, I believe, would totally change the course of the presidential election in Georgia.”

He went on to claim that “establishment media errors, omissions, mistakes, and outright lies always slant one way — against me and against Republicans.”

“A strong democracy requires a fair and honest press. This latest media travesty underscores that legacy media outlets should be regarded as political entities — not journalistic enterprises. In any event, I thank the Washington Post for the correction,” he said.
