Former US President and frontrunner for the GOP Donald Trump said on Tuesday he will divulge a detailed report on alleged 2020 election fraud in Georgia at a news conference scheduled to be held on August 21 in Bedminster, New Jersey.

"A Large, Complex, Detailed but Irrefutable REPORT on the Presidential Election Fraud which took place in Georgia is almost complete & will be presented by me at a major News Conference at 11:00 A.M. on Monday of next week in Bedminster, New Jersey," Trump said in a message on Truth Social.

He further noted that the report's results indicate that charges held against him and other people concerned should be dropped.

"There will be a complete EXONERATION! They never went after those that Rigged the Election. They only went after those that fought to find the RIGGERS!" he said.

Earlier today, prosecutors in Atalanta charged Trump with 13 felony counts, charges involving racketeering and a number of election violations encompassing 18 co-defendants including his former personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani and former White House Chief of Staff, Mark Meadows.

"Rather than abide by Georgia's legal process for election challenges, the defendants engaged in a criminal racketeering enterprise to overturn Georgia's presidential election result," Fulton County prosecutor Fani Willis told reporters.

The official said Trump and the 18 other suspects had until August 25 to "voluntarily surrender" to state authorities, saying she would push for the trial to commence within the next six months.

In July, Trump vowed that he would continue to run for the presidential race if he gets convicted for any of the charges he faces, noting that nothing in the Constitution states that getting sentenced would stop him from campaigning.

"And even the radical left crazies are saying not at all, that wouldn't stop (me) -- and it wouldn't stop me either. These people are sick. What they are doing is absolutely horrible," he said in an interview.
