Former President Donald Trump pledged on Saturday to prosecute anyone and everyone who engages in cheating or fraud in the 2024 election process.
Trump warned of “long term prison sentences” for anybody who undermines the democratic process, including illegal voters and corrupt officials.
“CEASE & DESIST: I, together with many Attorneys and Legal Scholars, am watching the Sanctity of the 2024 Presidential Election very closely because I know, better than most, the rampant Cheating and Skullduggery that has taken place by the Democrats in the 2020 Presidential Election. It was a Disgrace to our Nation!” Trump wrote on X and Truth Social.

“Therefore, the 2024 Election, where Votes have just started being cast, will be under the closest professional scrutiny and, WHEN I WIN, those people that CHEATED will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law, which will include long term prison sentences so that this Depravity of Justice does not happen again. We cannot let our Country further devolve into a Third World Nation, AND WE WON’T!”
“Please beware that this legal exposure extends to Lawyers, Political Operatives, Donors, Illegal Voters, & Corrupt Election Officials. Those involved in unscrupulous behavior will be sought out, caught, and prosecuted at levels, unfortunately, never seen before in our Country,” Trump added.
Trump’s announcement was met with widespread praise among his supporters on social media.
DC Draino noted the welcome news is a far cry from the 2020 election, when former Attorney General Bill Barrr refused to open a single fraud case despite documented reports of rampant abuse and fraud.
“Remember, not a single federal election fraud case was opened in 2020 b/c Bill Barr was a corrupt coward,” wrote on X. “Once Trump cleans out the DOJ of political operatives and puts in ethical
Prosecutors, which he can do on day 1, there will be a flood of election fraud takedowns.”
