Experts and elected officials on both sides of the political aisle dismissed Donald Trump’s claim that “millions” of Americans voted illegally on Election Day, as efforts expanded to organise recounts in swing states.
The Republican billionaire’s victory on November 8 saw him clinch the crucial Electoral College count, which determines the presidency, but lose the popular vote to rival Hillary Clinton by more than two million ballots.
Cloistered in his Florida resort for the long Thanksgiving weekend, the 70-year-old tycoon who has never previously held elected office took to Twitter to indulge in one of his customary tweet storms.
Trump says will leave business to focus on running country
Under pressure to avoid any conflict of interest, President-elect Donald Trump said that he will be leaving his far-flung business “in total” to focus on running the country and scheduled a Dec. 15 news conference to lay out his plan. Trump announced his plans in a series of tweets but did not explain exactly what he would be doing with his assets.
“I will be holding a major news conference in New York City with my children on December 15 to discuss the fact that I will be leaving my great business in total in order to fully focus on running the country in order to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” Trump said.
