Trump disbands "voter fraud" sham
Posted: Wed Jan 03, 2018 5:35 pm
President Donald Trump has dissolved the presidential commission created to investigate his unproven claims that millions of people voted illegally in the 2016 election.
The commission, which was created through an executive order of May of last year, was unceremoniously ended Wednesday by another executive order.
The White House announced the dissolution in a press release, citing many states' refusal to turn over information needed for the inquiry as the impetus for disbanding the commission.
“Rather than engage in endless legal battles at taxpayer expense, today I signed an executive order to dissolve the Commission,” read a statement that appeared to be from the president but was attributed to White House press secretary Sarah Sanders.
