Speaking with reporters on Friday afternoon, President Donald Trump expressed that he is hopeful that former presidential opponent Hillary Clinton will finally be investigated for election fraud.
Shortly before departing for New Jersey, Trump was asked by a reporter, “Will Hillary Clinton finally be investigated for election fraud?”
Trump answered, “I hope so, I hope so. I don’t know whether or not that’ll happen, but I hope so.”
During his brief exchange with reporters outside the White House, Trump also repeatedly criticized Bureau of Labor Statistics Commissioner Erika McEntarfer, whom he recently removed. The president connected his recent decision to fire McEntarfer, whom he accused of falsifying jobs report numbers, to efforts to sway previous elections against him.

“You have to have honest reports and when you look at those numbers or when you look at just before the election and then after the election, they corrected it by 8 or 900,000 jobs,” he said.
“Why should anybody trust numbers? You go back to election day. Look what happened two or three days before with massive, wonderful jobs numbers, trying to get him elected or her elected, trying to get whoever the hell was running because you go back and they came out with numbers that were very favorable to Kamala,” he went on. “And then on the 15th of November or thereabouts, they added 8 or 900,000 overstatement reduction right after the election.”
Addressing a reporter directly, Trump added, “It didn’t work, because, you know who won, John? I won.”
