McConnell: No Federal Money For Trump’s Voter Fraud Investigation
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Sunday said he doesn’t want to spend federal funds to investigate Donald Trump’s massive voter fraud lie.
McConnell said he doesn’t believe it is as widespread as Donald Trump claim, nor does it require a federal intervention.
“Election fraud does occur,” he told CNN’s “State of the Union.” But he quickly added, “there’s no evidence that occurred in such a significant number that it would have changed the presidential election.”
“I don’t think we ought to spend any federal money investigating that. I think the states can take a look at this issue. Many of them have tried to tighten their voter rolls, tried to purge people who are dead,” he added.
Donald Trump has claimed that he lost the popular vote due to 3 to 5 million vote by illegal immigrants.
Donald Trump announced on January 25 that he would ask for “a major investigation” into voter fraud. However, there are no indications that an investigation is underway.
