Donald Trump, the President of the United States of America, has repeated his claim that his loss to Hillary Clinton in the popular vote was down to significant numbers of people voting "illegally".

Despite winning in the all-important electoral college - Trump lost out to Clinton by 2.8 million ballots in total.

However, in a meeting with congressional leaders on Monday, he reiterated his opinion that the reason for this loss was actually down to between three and five million illegal immigrants casting illegal ballots.
