Chris Christie tells Trump: “Show us the evidence”

Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie says Donald Trump needs to “show us the evidence” as the president continues to claim that the 2020 election is being undermined by electoral fraud.

“So if this stuff is going on that the president’s talking about, all of us want it ferreted out, because it would undercut everything that we believe in in our system,” Christie told ABC News on Thursday.

“But as a prosecutor, that’s like asking me to indict someone without showing me any evidence.

“If you’re gonna say those things from behind the podium at the White House – it’s his right to do it, it’s his right to pursue legal action, but show us the evidence.

“We heard nothing today about any evidence.”
