So, President Trump abruptly ended this sitdown interview with NBC when he was pressed for evidence on various unsubstantiated claims.Â
Take a listen. >> Let's call it quits because I've had enough.Â
Thank you, darling. Have a good time.Â
>> Mr. President, let's please. I traveled all the way to Wisconsin.Â
>> During that interview, Trump made unsubstantiated claims that last week's California elections are rigged because after several days, he says the state isn't even close to finishing the count.Â
The Trump Justice Department is now sending in a federal prosecutor to investigate voter fraud allegations in California.Â
But California has this notoriously slow vote counting process that's driven by its high volume of mail and ballots.Â
Some don't arrive until a week after election day.Â
And ballot counting can take up to 30 days after the election.Â
As long as they're postmarked by election day, they're counted.Â
In that interview, the president also refused to rule out taxpayer compensation to riers who attacked the capital on January 6, even those convicted of assaulting police officers.Â
The president is still pushing his $ 1.8 billion so-called anti-weaponization fund to compensate those who claim they were wrongly targeted by the Justice Department during the Biden administration.Â
The president making these claims despite the acting attorney general announcing that they're scrapping the fund after we saw rare revolt from Senate Republicans.Â
