Giuliani and Trump Campaign Officials Hold Marathon Press Conference at RNC HQ Claiming Widespread Voter Fraud
On November 19, 2020, Rudy Giuliani and Trump campaign officials held a nearly two-hour press conference at Republican National Committee headquarters in Washington, D.C. Giuliani, serving as Trump personal attorney, made sweeping and unsubstantiated claims of a coordinated nationwide voter fraud conspiracy involving Dominion Voting Systems, Smartmatic software, and alleged interference from Venezuela, Cuba, and China. He alleged that poll workers in Philadelphia, Detroit, Atlanta, and Milwaukee participated in a coordinated scheme to manufacture ballots for Joe Biden. The claims were immediately debunked by election officials in both parties, former Trump administration officials, and cybersecurity experts. Attorney General William Barr had already stated the DOJ found no evidence of widespread fraud. The press conference became notable for Giuliani slurry appearance and for the visible trickle of hair dye running down his face during the broadcast.
