Trump dissolves voter fraud commission [View all]

Source: The Hill

BY BRANDON CARTER - 01/03/18 06:49 PM EST

The White House announced Wednesday that President Trump is shutting down his Advisory Commission on Election Integrity.

“Despite substantial evidence of voter fraud, many states have refused to provide the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity with basic information relevant to its inquiry,” Trump said in a statement released by the White House.

“Rather than engage in endless legal battles at taxpayer expense, today I signed an executive order to dissolve the Commission, and have asked the Department of Homeland Security to review these issues and determine next courses of action.”

Trump created the bipartisan commission by executive order in May. The president has claimed without evidence that thousands of people voted illegally in the 2016 election.
