President Trump went further. He publicly proclaimed the improper political motive
behind the case, branding the SPLC a “Democrat Hoax, along with Act Blue and

according to the President, were “a part of the rigging of the [2020] election.”5](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vrmx2e5gsi23srsy2n7vljvb/bafkreibjkfqco26kwru5qqftrlbo47uhyjfa4yjont242nmw3xgosl6ph4)
