Trump's dud election speech BACKFIRES; document dump contradicts his complaint

Jen Psaki looks at how Donald Trump's big speech on election security did not get much media attention, even from his most supporting outlets.

And of course, while some documents contradicted his conspiracy theories about China, others affirmed that he was supported by Russia.

Rep. Jamie Raskin shares his reaction to this and Trump's election speech flop.
