The immediate past president of the United States, Donald Trump, has disclosed that he would be making a what he described as a ‘very big announcement’ next week, even as many credible sources have revealed that he was expected to jump into the race for the White House in 2024.
Africa Today News, New York reports that Trump who is yet to accept is loss during his re-election bid in 2020, has for many months hinted that he was ready to re-enter the fray.
Speaking to a cheering crowd in Ohio on yesterday, the eve of US polls which will determine control of Congress, Trump delcared he would make the ‘big announcement’ in Florida next Tuesday.

‘Not to detract from tomorrow’s very important, even critical election… I’m going to be making a very big announcement on Tuesday, November 15 at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida,’ he said.
The trail was the closest the Republican has got to confirming his intention to run, building on his message last week that he ‘will very, very, very probably do it again.’
Africa Today News, New York had recently reported that one of the conservative lawyers who has been identified as the main architect of a plan which had been made to keep the former President in office had warned in late December 2020 that if Mr. Trump falsely swore to the courts that he had specific evidence of the voter fraud which had allegedly taken place in Georgia, both the president and his lawyers could face prosecution.
‘I have no doubt that an aggressive DA or US Atty someplace will go after both the president and his lawyers once all the dust settles on this,’ the lawyer, John Eastman, wrote on Dec. 31, 2020, to fellow members of the Trump legal team.
The warning had also come at a time when some of the members of Mr. Trump’s legal team had been pushing for him to sign a verification document which had required him to swear under an oath that information in a Georgia lawsuit he had also filed while he had been challenging the results of the 2020 election was true, even though his lawyers were aware the specific allegations were false.
