Trump also continued to allege election fraud in Pennsylvania despite federal appeals judges ruling there Friday that the Trump 2020 Campaign's claims in that state "have no merit.”
“The Wisconsin recount is not about finding mistakes in the count, it is about finding people who have voted illegally, and that case will be brought after the recount is over, on Monday or Tuesday," the president tweeted Saturday. "We have found many illegal votes. Stay tuned!”
