Trump Attorney Dragged After Saying Biden Should Have To Prove He Won 'Legally And Legitimately'

It's been nearly a week since President-elect Joe Biden won the crucial swing state of Pennsylvania and its 20 electoral votes, bringing him above the 270 required to win the White House.

Breaking with centuries of tradition, President Donald Trump is refusing to concede and allow a transition of power to get underway.


Trump's team is following his lead, filing numerous lawsuits across multiple states falsely alleging voter fraud and other improprieties.

Meanwhile, media personalities on his campaign are amplifying the President's lies that widespread voting fraud tipped the election to Biden.

Senior Legal Advisor for the Trump campaign, Jenna Ellis, is continuing the Trump campaign's quixotic efforts to unconstitutionally secure a second term for their dear leader.

On Thursday, Ellis asked why Biden was "afraid" to prove that he won the election "legally and legitimately."

Throughout Trump's numerous scandals, the term "burden of proof" has frequently been deployed from his defenders. It means that plaintiffs accusing a defendant of a crime are burdened with proving beyond a reasonable doubt that said crime was committed.

During the President's impeachment trial in the Senate earlier this year, the President's lawyers argued that the House impeachment managers had to prove that Trump improperly withheld congressionally approved aid from Ukraine for political benefit.

In the White House's own impeachment memorandum, Trump's defense team wrote:

"Senators should convict on articles of impeachment against a President only if they find that the House Managers have carried their burden of proving that the President committed an impeachable offense beyond a reasonable doubt."

Ellis herself wrote of the impeachment proceedings:

"[I]t's the Democrats' burden to prove their case. Much of the media spin over the past months since the impeachment inquiry has begun focused on how well the president would "defend himself." Although his team did an excellent job defending him, he doesn't actually have to."

The burden of proof is a basic legal standard, but apparently—according to Ellis—this standard argued by Trump's defenders doesn't apply to Biden.

People saw right through the absurdity of the argument.






People soon demanded that Ellis "prove" things of her own.



The Trump campaign has yet to prove the allegations of widespread voter fraud they're claiming.

Trump Ripped After Going Off On Bonkers Rant About Room's Decor During Cabinet Meeting

During Tuesday's cabinet meeting while the press was in attendance, MAGA Republican President Donald Trump gave a rambling stream of consciousness speech that went all over the place before landing on paint versus gold leaf, leading people to again question the POTUS' mental acuity amid a notable cognitive decline.

In a disjointed monologue about the decor in the cabinet room, Trump said he stole a grandfather clock from Secretary of State Marco Rubio's office and chose a painting of James Polk because the frame matched the frame around his favorite President—Andrew Jackson.
