Mossini, Wis. – Former President Donald Trump, who makes Repeated false claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen In a massive fraud, Saturday warned that it would seek to imprison anyone involved in “immoral conduct” during the results of the 2024 race.
The threat was issued in a post on his social media website, Truth Social, and accused the Democrat of “massive fraud and skullduggery”, repeating his false claims that the 2020 election had been stolen.
“The 2024 election, where voting has just begun, will be under the closest professional scrutiny and, when I win, the fraudsters will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, including long prison terms so that justice is served. May the disgrace not repeat itself,” he wrote.
He continued, “Please be aware that this legal contact extends to lawyers, political activists, donors, illegal voters and corrupt election officials. Those involved in unethical behavior will be hunted down, caught and prosecuted at a level, unfortunately, never seen before in our country.
After his 2020 defeat, the threat he made while running for president was the most extensive — going beyond Threatening old enemies and alerting those involved in the current election.

He also weighed in on the GOP’s Focus on election integrity The cycle, during a speech in Wisconsin on Saturday, suggested that if Republicans stop Democrats from cheating, they don’t have to keep campaigning.
“We have to stop cheating. If we stop that cheating, if we don’t let them cheat, I don’t even have to campaign anymore,” Trump said. “We’re going to win big. Meanwhile, too big to rig, too big to rig. “
Trump and his allies filed dozens of unsuccessful lawsuits after the 2020 election in an attempt to overturn the results. Some Democrats say Republicans’ new legal battles in battleground states ahead of the November election Raise concerns Republicans are trying to sow seeds of doubt about the outcome if Donald Trump loses.
