U.S. President Donald Trump has pointed the blame to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Republicans for not fighting on his behalf about the outcome of this year's presidential election.

Trump continues to describe this year's election as rigged and stolen, according to a Fox News report.

The president's statement came just 25 days before the scheduled inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden on Jan. 20.

This was after Electoral College confirmed Biden's victory on Dec. 14.

"If a Democrat Presidential Candidate had an Election Rigged & Stolen, with proof of such acts at a level never seen before, the Democrat Senators would consider it an act of war, and fight to the death," Trump was quoted on a tweet.

Trump added that McConnell and the Republicans did nothing and just wat to let it pass.

The president has also accused the Justice Department and Federal Bureau of Investigation of abandoning him, he wrote in another tweet.

Formerly leading the DOJ, Attorney General William Barr, served his final post on Wednesday after submitting his resignation.

Trump said that they should be ashamed and history will remember, adding that he will see everyone in D.C. on Jan. 6.

Meanwhile, lawmakers are faced by high-stake decisions in the coming days on the bipartisan legislation that Trump rejected this week

Legislation Rejected

Trump on Wednesday vetoed a $740.5 billion annual defense spending bill, which passed in chambers of Congress with greater than two-thirds majorities.

Trump tweeted that he will not standby and watch the passage of the bill without an amendment reigning in Big Tech.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi intends to vote to override the veto next week, according to The Mercury News report.

Aside from the annual defense spending bill, the $2.3 trillion COVID-19 relief and government funding bill is still hanging.

Trump has attacked the measure repeatedly for including what he said a wasteful spending and for having insufficient stimulus checks.

House Republicans blocked on Thursday the increase on payments to $2,000.

This was done by Majority Leader Steny Hoyer.

The proposed stimulus checks was $600.

Democrats, meanwhile, blocked Republicans counterproposal that would realign foreign-aid money in the portion of the bill to fund the government.

It is still unclear what Trump plans to do with the larger pandemic relief and annual spending bill that Congress has earlier passed on Dec. 21.

The bill has been delivered to Florida, in one of his resorts, where Trump is spending the holiday season, according to a source familiar with the situation.

Hoyer told reporters on Thursday that they can only do what they can do.

"We are not going to let he government shutdown. We are not going to the let the American people down from our perspective," Hoyer was quoted on a report.

Meanwhile, a McConnell spokesman, David Popp, did not respond to questions about Trump's insistence on direct payments, as well as on Pelosi's plan to push this in the House.

The last stimulus check was received by Americans in the beginning of the pandemic.

This was not the first time that there has been a threat of government shutdown during Trump's administration.
