Trump Alleges Scheme Around U.S. Economic Data

“Donald Trump introduced a new premise for doubting the election results in advance on Wednesday, turning routine professional revisions of government economic statistics into a baseless allegation of political manipulation,” the Washington Post reports.

“Trump portrayed revised job creation numbers the Bureau of Labor Statistics released publicly on Wednesday as an accidental disclosure. Without presenting any evidence, he accused the Biden-Harris administration of ‘manipulating job statistics’ and trying to prevent the disclosure of the updated figures until after the election.”
