McConnell declines federal investigation into voter fraud
It would have happened on State of the Union.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Sunday declined to say he would support a federal investigation — and thus the spending of taxpayer money — into President Trump's claims of massive voter fraud in the 2016 presidential election.
The Kentucky Republican said that he does believe in voter fraud, but does not believe as Trump does that 3 to 5 million people illegally voted in the election.
"Election fraud does occur," McConnell said on CNN's "State of the Union," adding that "there's no evidence that occurred in such a significant number that it would have changed the presidential election."
In a new interview, Trump told Fox News's Bill O'Reilly that "a bad situation" still exists regarding voter fraud. The president has threatened to launch a "major investigation" into voter fraud, but the White House has yet to announce such an effort.
"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," McConnell said Sunday.
There has been no legitimate evidence of the large-scale voter fraud claimed by Trump.
