Daily US Times: US President Donald Trump has insisted he is not conceding the US election, which he lost to Joe Biden, despite seemingly acknowledging Biden victory for the first time.
Mr Trump tweeted: “He won because the Election was Rigged,” but minutes later said he was not conceding that he lost the election.
The President also repeated unsubstantiated claims of widespread election fraud.
His campaign has launched a slew of lawsuits in several key states but has not provided any evidence to back his claims of fraud.
The legal actions have so far been unsuccessful. Experts say there are very little chance to alter Biden victory.
Election officials said on Friday that the vote was the “most secure in American history” and there was “no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes or was in any way compromised”.
Nevertheless, President Trump has refused to acknowledge Mr Biden’s victory until – apparently – now.
White House spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany told Fox News on Friday: “President Trump believes he will be President Trump, have a second term.”
In a news conference on the same day, the President said “who knows” which administration would be in power in the future.
Despite acknowledging Mr Biden’s victory in one tweet on Sunday, Mr Trump went on to say “I concede NOTHING!”.
Twitter added a warning to his latest allegations of wrongdoing, saying “This claim of election fraud is disputed.”
On Saturday, thousands of Mr Trump’s supporters protested in Washington DC to back his unsubstantiated claims.
