Fox News Legal Experts Warn Trump’s False Victory Claims Will Only Hurt Himself
In the moments after President Donald Trump falsely declared premature victory early Wednesday morning, news anchors across the board—including Fox News’ Chris Wallace—denounced his comments as “undemocratic” and potentially dangerous.
Now, as Biden’s lead in the battleground states of Michigan and Wisconsin grows, a pair of Fox News legal commentators are arguing that Trump should “tamp down” his rhetoric for a very different reason.
First up was Jonathan Turley, a George Washington University law professor who actually served as a witness for Trump during his impeachment trial late last year. After lending some credence to the legal challenges that the Trump administration has been threatening, Turley pushed back against the president’s claims that he has somehow already won the election.
