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.
