In a December legal filing arguing against a recount in Michigan, Trump's own law- yers wrote, “All available evidence suggests that the 2016 general election was not tainted by fraud, ‘Trump, though, is sensitive about the fact that Democratic ‘opponent Hillary Clinton re- ceived more votes than him.

Spicer's briefing was his third appearance in the White House press room: at his first, oon Saturday, he made five sep- arate false claims about the size of the crowd at Trump's Friday inauguration, This lie was far more danger- ‘ous, a deception that threatens to damage public faith in the integrity of the electoral sys tem.
