America Elections Kaos: Trump announces plans to seek probe of alleged voter fraud

President Donald Trump announced Wednesday he would seek a probe into alleged voter fraud after claiming that several million people voted illegally in November's election that brought him to power.


"I will be asking for a major investigation into VOTER FRAUD, including those registered to vote in two states, those who are illegal and even those registered to vote who are dead (and many for a long time). Depending on the results we will strengthen up voting procedures!" Trump wrote on Twitter.

There is no public evidence of widespread illegal voting in last year's poll and Trump and the White House is yet to substantiate the president's claim.

Hours after Trump told congressional leaders that as many as five million people could have voted illegally, White House spokesman Sean Spicer said this belief was based "on the studies he's seen."

"I think the president has believed that for a while based on studies and information he has."

If proven, it would be an enormous political scandal.
