Donald Trump said Sunday that he will "
not change his mind
" on his accusations without proof of electoral fraud, in his first television interview since the presidential election won by Joe Biden.
“
It's not like anyone can change my mind.
I will not have changed my mind in six months,
”the outgoing US president said on Fox News.

“
This election was rigged,
” he said without providing any evidence.
"
We have largely won
".
For his first television intervention since the November 3 election, Donald Trump repeated for 45 minutes his accusations of massive electoral fraud which would have cost him his re-election.
Despite the US billionaire's repeated accusations, his lawyers have suffered around 20 court defeats across the country, the latest in Pennsylvania where the state Supreme Court on Saturday dismissed a new complaint from his campaign team, reducing it to almost nil the possibility of modifying the results.
The lawsuit filed by the Republicans called for either invalidation of the mail-in votes or the cancellation of the entire vote to leave the choice of the winner to state lawmakers.
Which did not seem to shake Donald Trump.
"
We are trying to present evidence, but the judges do not allow us to do so,
" he said.
“
We are trying.
We have tons of evidence
”.
Ignoring the independence of the judiciary, the US President complained of not receiving support from the Department of Justice and the FBI.

They are "
missing
", he regretted, wondering about the usefulness of the Supreme Court if it does not intervene in his favor.
“
The Supreme Court must examine our case.
Something has to come to him.
Otherwise, what is the Supreme Court?
".
The result of the 2020 election was not, however, close.
Democrat Joe Biden clearly won with 306 voters against 232 for Donald Trump.
It takes 270 to win the US presidential election.
Traditionally, the defeated candidate recognizes his defeat almost immediately, which Donald Trump still has not agreed to do, a refusal unprecedented in American political history.
But even if Donald Trump never recognizes his defeat, he is virtually assured that the Electoral College will confirm Joe Biden's victory on December 14 and that the new Democratic president will take office on January 20, 2021. Yet the outgoing president refused to set a limit on his legal actions to reverse the outcome of the election.
“
I won't give a date,
” he said.
Does he still see a possibility of winning?
"
I hope,
" he said.
