The campaigns by both Donald Trump and Joe Biden proved to be a bitter affair, with attacks going to the extent of getting personal. A report has surfaced during Trump’s campaigning, where the now-former president vetoed his campaign ads that meant to attack Biden’s record with women.
During the 2020 election campaign, Trump and his campaign have repeatedly attacked Biden through using his son’s business dealings. Trump even went as far as to accuse Biden’s son Hunter Biden of getting dishonorably discharged due to his drug use.
However, a new report first revealed by Axios revealed that the Trump campaign had some brutal attack ads aiming at Biden that centered around his record among women in the past. However, Trump ultimately scrapped out airing those ads for fear that it would open his own “can of worms.”
Biden has previously received backlash for hugging and touching women that came off as inappropriate. He has since explained that it was never his intention to be inappropriate. Biden has also been accused of sexual assault by a former Senate staff member, which he denied.
Trump, on the other hand, has publicly boasted about being able to grab women by their genitals through his infamous Access Hollywood interview. Up to 25 women have come forward to allege that Trump sexually assaulted them in the past, which he has denied. However, some allegations toward him have also reached the courts, such as the ongoing legal battle with Stormy Daniels and the rape defamation case by E. Jean Carroll.
With Trump’s fixation on the election results in Georgia, he has now landed another legal battle and this time against the state. This was due to Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger launching an investigation into the infamous phone call made to him by Trump, telling him to “find” him votes to overturn the election results in Georgia. Georgia went to Biden during the elections, beating Trump by 12,000 votes. Trump has contested the results several times and several recounts and certifications made confirmed Biden’s win.
However, any further legal efforts to investigate will be on the prerogative of the Georgia attorney general, said Raffensperger’s spokesman Walter Jones.
