Trump says Pence « has several options under the U.S. Constitution. »
President Donald Trump is slapping down a report that claims Vice President Mike Pence told him that he, as vice president, does not have the power to block certification of Joe Biden’s win. While slamming a report by The New York Times as “fake news,” Trump said in a statement late Tuesday that Pence “never said that.” Trump continued with his unsubstantiated claim that the 2020 presidential election was “corrupt in contested states” and that it was “illegal.” He claimed in the same statement, “The November 3rd election was corrupt in contested states, and in particular it was not in accordance with the Constitution in that they made large scale changes to election rules and regulations as dictated by local judges and politicians, not by state legislators. This means that it was illegal.
