Donald Trump has posted a surprise speech on social media in which he calls for the result of last month’s election to be “overturned.” The 46-minute taped address was published on Facebook and finds the outgoing president utilising graphs to make a series of already-debunked or otherwise outright false claims about voter fraud and the results.
The video has been labelled “one of his most dishonest ever,” with CNN’s Jake Tapper saying it leaves Mr Trump looking like the “sorest loser” in presidential history.
The president’s niece Mary Trump has meanwhile warned that he will continue to wield major political influence out of office and will pour “considerable energy” into it, which she predicts will be “terrible” for America, while his daughter Ivanka Trump has been deposed as part of the Washington DC attorney general’s probe into an alleged misuse of more than $1m in inauguration funds.
