President Trump is vowing to send law enforcement to polling places during the 2020 presidential
election as he continues to make baseless claims about voter fraud and mail-in ballots.Trump during an interview with
Fox News on Thursday night was asked by host
Sean Hannity if he's "going to have poll watchers" to help "avoid fraud" during the election, to which he responded, "We're going to have everything. We're going to have sheriffs, and we're going to have law enforcement, and we're going to have, hopefully, U.S. attorneys, and we're going to have everybody."Trump went on to continue to make false claims about mail-in ballots, baselessly speculating that they will be sent only to "Democrat areas" for the November election. CNN previously reported that Trump's 2020 campaign was "working to dispatch tens of thousands of election monitors to battleground states" this November, but
NBC News notes this Fox News interview was the first time Trump claimed he will try to include law enforcement in this effort. Lawyer Marc E. Elias shot back at Trump that he won't be doing so "without a legal fight."
