Donald Trump acknowledged that Joe Biden won the US presidential election for the time on Sunday, but claimed attempts to “steal votes” meant the contest was rigged.
The president stopped short of conceding defeat and his legal team are still focused on challenging the electoral process in the courts despite no evidence having been provided that there was widespread fraud.
His comments come after several thousand Trump supporters gathered in Washington DC to protest against the election results on Saturday, with clashes erupting and at least 20 arrests made.
