President Trump suggested President-elect Joe Biden would be an "illegitimate president" in a Thursday tweet.
"How can you give an election to someone who lost the election by hundreds of thousands of legal votes in each of the swing states," Trump tweeted. "How can a country be run by an illegitimate president?"
The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee is set to hold the first congressional hearing next week to examine the “irregularities” in the 2020 presidential election.
“I am mindful that many of the issues that have been raised have been, and will continue to be, appropriately resolved in the courts,” Chairman Ron Johnson, R-Wis., said in a statement upon announcing the hearing.
Johnson, during an interview with Fox News, said that the committee is continuing to gather information and witnesses to discuss the irregularities, calling the hearing and the review of the election a “moving target” amid ongoing legal battles mounted by the Trump campaign in key states across the country.
