The president-elect alleged it was a way for Stein — who has raised USD 5.9 million toward a USD 7 million target for the recount push — to “fill her coffers with money”.
“The people have spoken and the election is over, as Hillary Clinton herself said on election night in addition to her conceding,” Trump said, a day after the Green Party candidate moved a petition for the recounting of votes in Wisconsin which was accepted by the State Election Commission.
On Saturday morning, the Hillary Clinton Campaign said that it is joining the Green Party in the recounting move. It said it will also support the recounting of votes in Michigan and Pennsylvania.
Trump said: “This is a scam by the Green Party for an election that has already been conceded, and the results of this election should be respected instead of being challenged and abused, which is exactly what Jill Stein is doing.”
