In interview, Trump says he’ll continue to challenge election

WASHINGTON — On Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures,” President Donald Trump rehashed a litany of largely unfounded allegation­s about the Nov. 3 election without offering new evidence for his claim that millions of votes across several battlegrou­nd states were fraudulent.

He signaled that his legal options may be running out, but he suggested there was no “drop-dead” date for his challenges to finally come to an end. And he acknowledg­ed that the fight to overturn his defeat “probably” won’t reach the Supreme Court.

“It’s very hard to get a case to the Supreme Court,” Trump said in the Fox News interview, which was conducted by telephone. “I probably can’t get a case.”

Trump’s legal team has shrugged off numerous refuffs in courts by saying it’s all part of a march to the Supreme Court.

In Sunday’s lengthy interview, the president largely repeated unfounded allegation­s of large-scale fraud, frequently egged on by the show’s host, Maria Bartiromo.

Trump also lashed out Sunday at various political enemies, including Georgia’s top two elections officials, both Republican­s — Secretary of State Brad Raffensper­ger and Gov. Brian Kemp. The two men have certified Trump’s defeat in the state.

“I’m ashamed that I endorsed him,” Trump said of Kemp.

Trump also endorsed Raffensper­ger in 2018 as someone who would be “a fantastic secretary of state.” On Thursday, the president called the Republican an “enemy of the people.”
