CNN Anchor Busts Lara Trump On Claim About Ballot Fraud — Makes Her Admit She ‘Hasn’t Seen’ Evidence She Just Cited

CNN anchor Kasie Hunt got former First Daughter and current RNC head Lara Trump to admit she hasn’t seen evidence of ballot fraud seconds after she cited it in defending former President Donald Trump .

Over the weekend, Trump posted a rant demanding the RNC and others investigate a claim of rampant absentee ballot fraud, writing ” Here we go again! Where is the U.S. Attorney General and FBI to INVESTIGATE? Where is the Pennsylvania Republican Party? We will WIN Pennsylvania by a lot, unless the Dems are allowed to CHEAT. THE RNC MUST ACTIVATE, NOW!!!”

The claim was based on a Tucker Carlson interview.

On Tuesday morning’s edition of CNN This Morning , Hunt pressed Lara Trump on the claim, and Ms. Trump said her father-in-law was “specifically referencing information from the 2020 election.”

But when Hunt asked her “What evidence is there” to back up the claim, Trump admitted “I didn’t see that report”:

HUNT: Lara, I also want to ask you about something he posted recently on “Truth Social,” where he actually called on the RNC, the organization you are co-chair of, to activate now. And this was around mail-in voting. He said, he was quoting Tucker Carlson here with an election expert, that 20% of mail-in ballots in Pennsylvania are fraudulent.

Here we go again. Where is the attorney general, the FBI to investigate? Where is the Republican Party in Pennsylvania? The RNC must activate now.

Now, in August, the RNC, your RNC, and the Trump campaign launched a get-out-to-vote tool where Pennsylvania voters can request a mail-in ballot directly. Is the former president saying that Republicans in Pennsylvania should not ask for these ballots?

TRUMP: No, quite the opposite. Donald Trump wants every voter, no matter if you’re voting Republican, Democrat, or third-party candidate, to feel comfortable that you can vote.

HUNT: So why is he saying that 20% of them are fraudulent?

TRUMP: He’s specifically referencing information from the 2020 election. What we’re talking about right now is making sure that every vote matters and every vote counts. And I’ve worked very hard at the RNC.

HUNT: What information do we have? What evidence is there that 20% of the mail-in ballots in Pennsylvania in 2020 were fraudulent?

TRUMP: I didn’t see that report, so I’d have to go back and look at it. So I can’t directly speak to that. But what I can tell you is, we’ve worked very hard on the ground at the RNC to make sure every voter in this country feels like, when you cast a ballot, whether it’s via mail, whether it’s early voting in-person, or whether it’s on Election Day in an election office around the country, your vote matters and your vote counts.

And Donald Trump very much wants every Republican voter to vote however they feel most comfortable, and every voter in this country to vote however they feel most comfortable. So I would have to go back and look at that. I have not studied that.

HUNT: All right. Lara Trump, I do very much appreciate your time. Thank you very much for being here on a very historic day in this campaign. Thank you.
