Rudy Giuliani and Eric Trump launch furious attack on US democracy and promise wave of lawsuits...

Members of the Trump campaign, including Eric Trump and Rudy Giuliani, held a press conference in Philadelphia on Wednesday afternoon in which they claimed Donald Trump has not only won the state of Pennsylvania, but the entire US presidential election.

Eric Trump spoke first, alleging that Democrats were trying to “cheat” by committing mass voter fraud and vowing to file a lawsuit to halt vote-counting in Pennsylvania.

“We're going to win Pennsylvania, but they're trying to cheat us out of it because they know it's their only path to victory,” he said. “We are going to file a suit in Pennsylvania. It is the last thing that we wanted to do, it's the last thing my father wanted to do. But this is rampant corruption. It can’t happen. It’s not fair. This isn’t democracy.”
