FBI Did Not Rig President Trump's Election Loss: Kinzinger

CHANNAHON, IL — Recently re-elected Republican Congressman Adam Kinzinger maintains that President Donald Trump has no business suggesting the FBI and Department of Justice were responsible for rigging the Nov. 3 election to ensure that Joe Biden was victorious and will become the nation's next president.

According to Newsweek, Trump appeared on Fox News on Sunday and remarked, "This is total fraud, and how the FBI and Department of Justice — I don't know, maybe they're involved. But how people are allowed to get away with this stuff is unbelievable."

Trump's comments to Fox News drew a quick and scathing rebuke from the Channahon Republican who cruised to an easy victory over his challenger from La Salle to remain as the congressman for the citizens who live in the 16th District of Illinois.

The Newsweek article pointed out that Kinzinger has defended the integrity of the Nov. 3 presidential election by sending out multiple tweets criticizing Trump for making numerous unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud in Trump's defeat to Biden, a Democrat and former vice president under Barack Obama.
