Trump renews false Ruby Freeman ballot claims before Jan. 6 medal ceremony

In a series of Truth Social posts beginning late on January 2 and continuing into the early hours of January 3, 2023, Trump revived discredited claims that Georgia election worker Ruby Freeman manipulated ballots during the 2020 count, citing alleged "contradictions" in her sworn testimony and referencing police body-camera footage of ballot scanning. The posts came two days before President Biden awarded Freeman and her daughter, Wandrea "Shaye" Moss, the Presidential Citizens Medal on the second anniversary of the January 6 Capitol attack, honoring their service as election workers. State and federal investigators had previously found no evidence to support the ballot-fraud allegations, and Freeman had already documented death threats and harassment stemming from Trump's original 2020 accusations against her. Trump asked in one post "What will the Great State of Georgia do with the Ruby Freeman MESS?" and said Georgia should "tell the TRUTH."

“Wow! Has anyone seen the Ruby Freeman 'contradictions' of her sworn testimony? Now this is 'BIG STUFF.' Look what was captured by Cobb County police body cameras on January 4, 2021.” Quote verified against source
