Hil: Just might challenge loss
HILLARY CLINTON suggested in an interview Monday that she might challenge the legitimacy of President Trump’s victory if more evidence emerges of Russia’s interference in the 2016 election.
On NPR’s “Fresh Air,” host Terry Gross pressed Clinton on whether she would rule out questioning Trump’s win as the investigation into Russia’s meddling continues.
“No. I would not,” Clinton said. “No, I wouldn’t rule it out.”
Clinton acknowledged that she doesn’t know of any established method for challenging Trump’s win — which would create an unprecedented situation of a defeated presidential candidate disputing an election long after it has been settled.
But she suggested the overturn this month of Kenya’s presidential election might provide a path.
“We have no such provision in our country. And usually we don't need it,” she said.
