Trump has provided no credible evidence to support his election claims, which have been refuted by a long list of officials, among them judges, former Attorney General William Barr, Republican governors and local election administrators.

The idea was swiftly rejected by House Republicans during a rare Christmas Eve session, leaving the proposal in limbo. Trump’s vacation came as Washington was still reeling over his surprise, eleventh-hour demand that an end-of-year spending bill that congressional leaders spent months negotiating give most Americans $2,000 COVID relief checks - far more than the $600 members of his own party had agreed to.
