Trump vows to intervene in Texas election lawsuit to SCOTUS
Trump has vowed to intervene in a long-shot lawsuit filed by the state of Texas directly to the Supreme Court Tuesday seeking to toss out ballots in four states where Biden won as he continues his campaign to overturn the results of the presidential election.
“We will be INTERVENING in the Texas (plus many other states) case. This is the big one. Our Country needs a victory!” Trump tweeted Wednesday morning.
The state of Texas filed a lawsuit Tuesday against Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Georgia, arguing that those states “exploited the COVID-19 pandemic to justify ignoring federal and state election laws and unlawfully enacting last-minute changes, thus skewing the results of the 2020 General Election.”
Justices have not said whether they'll weigh the case, but legal experts say it's is unlikely to succeed.
Trump provided no details on how he would intervene.
The tweet comes after the Supreme Court on Tuesday denied a request from Trump allies to stop the certification of Pennsylvania's election results -- a case Trump said had "nothing to do with him" on Wednesday.
Notably, before the Supreme Court's denial came in, Trump called on the justices to have the "courage" to intervene at an event on coronavirus vaccines at the White House.
"Now, let's see whether or not somebody has the courage -- whether it’s a legislator or legislatures, or whether it's a justice of the Supreme Court or a number of justices of the Supreme Court. Let's see if they have the courage to do what everybody in this country knows is right," he said Tuesday.
