Trump Says 'Biden Can't Be President' If Election Fraud Is Real
President Donald Trump continued to claim that the last month's presidential election was riddled with fraud.
In a 46-minute long Facebook video posted on Wednesday, Trump, as he opened his speech, said it might be the "most important speech" he's ever made as many "bad things" happened during the election period.
He spoke at length about allegations of fraud and election irregularities that were spotted by his campaign team over the past month, according to Breitbart.
"If we are right about the fraud, Joe Biden (Democratic presidential nominee) can't be president," Trump said. "We're talking about hundreds of thousands of votes. We're talking about numbers like nobody has ever seen before."
He also reiterated that, as the country's current president, it is his role to protect the election system, "which is now under coordinated assault and siege."
Trump was very particular about the surge in absentee ballots and early voting because of coronavirus, said a Fox News report.
He also said that over the past days, weeks, and months, there were "lots of bad things" that happened in what was supposed to be an election day only.

He called the widely used voting methods a "scam" that put him in a position "like living in hell."
Trump Promises Voter Fraud Evidence in Court
As The Associated Press pointed out, the video was just a reiteration of all the claims that Trump's campaign had done over the past month in hopes to overturn the results in their favor.
The video was recorded from the Diplomatic Reception Room as Biden, who has been widely considered as the winner of the election, shaped up his Cabinet ahead of the January inauguration date.
Trump promised that he would present whatever evidence of mass fraud his campaign had gathered in court - particularly, the Supreme Court. He expressed hope that the courts will "do what's right for our country."
He added that he was still not supportive of a "revote" or a 2024 fight for the election's integrity as he wanted the fraud to be rooted out this year.
After Trump released the video, questions were raised about how far he may be willing to go to overturn Biden's projected win, and how far the GOP is ready to block the votes' certification.
Barr Found No Evidence of Fraud in Election
Trump's speech came a day after Attorney General William Barr said there was no evidence of widespread voter fraud during the election so far.

Barr said they are working to investigate complaints and whatever information had been tossed their way but "to date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have effected a different outcome in the election."
Some other members of the GOP have also broken off the party's stance on voter fraud.
Facebook labeled the video with a note that "voter fraud is extremely rare across voting methods."
Similarly, Twitter also tagged some Trump's tweets with a disclaimer that said: "This claim about election fraud is disputed."
