Donald Trump repeated his debunked voter fraud claim today during a roundtable discussion on tax reform in West Virginia. For over a year, President Trump has made dangerous and demonstrably false accusations about widespread voter fraud. He has shown no proof because there is none.
Trump in WV: "In many places, like California, the same person votes many times. You probably heard about that. They always like to say 'oh that's a conspiracy theory.' Not a conspiracy theory, folks. Millions and millions of people."

The committee Trump appointed last year to investigate such massive voter fraud was shut down in January without finding any evidence. #FactsFirst https://t.co/oKrd2CtGOu

I'm reminded of last summer, when I brought up Trump's "repeated lies" about voter fraud and wiretapping to @KellyannePolls. Her response: "He doesn't think he's lying about those issues, and you know it."
