President Trump, who returned to the White House to serve a second nonconsecutive term by winning the 2024 election, again claimed election "rigged."

President Donald Trump sparked controversy by floating the idea of canceling US elections during a speech to House Republicans, though he insisted he was not seriously proposing it and framed the remark as criticism of Democrats.

WASHINGTON, Dec 31 (Reuters) - Jack Smith, the former Justice Department special counsel who brought two now-dropped criminal cases against U.S. President Donald Trump, said that the Republican had acknowledged to others that he lost the 2020 election against former President Joe Biden, according to a transcript of a testimony by Smith.

During his first term, he publicly suggested delaying the 2020 election, despite lacking the authority to do so. More recently, in a meeting in August with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Trump appeared to voice approval of Ukraine’s ban on elections under martial law, prompting laughter in the room but alarm among his critics.

Trump allies pushed claims in 2020 that tied voting machine companies to election fraud and involved Venezuela, claiming companies Dominion Voting Systems and Smartmatic had initially been created to rig elections in Venezuela in favor of former leader Hugo Chavez, and employed the same tactics to help Biden win.

Former special counsel Jack Smith defended his decision to bring charges twice against President Donald Trump -- telling lawmakers in a closed-door deposition earlier this month that his team "had proof beyond reasonable doubt in both cases" that Trump was guilty of the charges in the 2020 election interference and classified documents cases.
