In his first television interview since the US election, incumbent President Donald Trump reiterated his unproven claims about alleged election fraud.
The November 3rd vote was "a complete fraud," said Trump on Sunday in a telephone interview with Fox News.
In the almost hour-long conversation, Trump renewed his allegations that many dead people had voted and that the increase in postal votes resulted in "massive fraud".
"We have an enormous amount of evidence," claimed Trump.
The courts refused to accept them - even though he was the US President.
Trump asked, "What kind of court system is that?"
In fact, the Republican has so far provided no hard evidence of the alleged election fraud he has been talking about for weeks.
US courts have already thrown down numerous lawsuits aimed at challenging the election results and his Republican allies.
It was only on Friday that a federal judge who had once been nominated by Trump had dismissed an important lawsuit in the state of Pennsylvania as unfounded.
US authorities and state election officers have rated the vote as safe and successful - there are no known cases of major fraud.

Trump (74) continues to refuse to recognize the election victory of Democrat Joe Biden (78).
When asked by the conservative Fox News presenter Maria Bartiromo whether there was still a way to victory for him despite the defeats in court, Trump said: "I hope so." But he restricted: "It takes a good judge or a good one Judge."
Bartiromo did not contradict Trump's many false claims.
He accused the media of not reporting on the election fraud.
"We have no freedom of the press in this country," said Trump.
"You are really quite brave that you report it."
