Misinformation by Trump amid US election 2020

Meanwhile, Donald Trump has appeared to fire an unsupported attack on the integrity of the polling process in the United States and calling it 'major fraud' with Senior Republicans including Utah Senator Mitt Romney and Maryland Governor Larry Hogan even warning against undermining the democratic process.  Even several US broadcasters halted the first appearance of Donald Trump since the Election night and concluded that the US President was spreading misinformation. In the 17-minute-long news conference, Trump went on to make baseless claims and insisted that rival Democrats were using “illegal votes” to “steal the election” from Republicans. 

However, MSNBC anchor Brian Williams said, “OK, here we are again in the unusual position of not only interrupting the president of the United States but correcting the president of the United States,” before the network pulled off the telecast. Even NBC and ABC pulled the plug. Trump’s clippings from the same news conference have been mostly labelled by Twitter for misinformation.
