Trump's Election Fraud Claims: A Collection

U.S. President Donald Trump spread countless falsehoods during his four years in the Oval Office, but perhaps none so damaging, or deadly, as those he pushed in the aftermath of his election loss. For nearly two months, Trump falsely claimed that there was widespread voter fraud and that the 2020 election had been stolen from him. These lies, in part, spurred a pro-Trump mob to attack the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
