It is unclear what exactly Fishback is referring to, however he noted in the video that his legal team is reviewing the evidence that is said to be damaging to Donalds, according to the video posted via X. Once they wrap up their review, the information will be made public. The candidate told netizens that this information has nothing to do with with 1997 arrest for drug possession with the intent to distribute nor his 2000 arrest for bank fraud.
