"Google manipulated from 2.6 million to 16 million votes for Hillary Clinton in 2016 Election!" Trump had claimed earlier in the day.

Wow, Report Just Out! Google manipulated from 2.6 million to 16 million votes for Hillary Clinton in 2016 Election! This was put out by a Clinton supporter, not a Trump Supporter! Google should be sued. My victory was even bigger than thought! @JudicialWatch — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 19, 2019

Clinton pointed out that the study referenced by Trump was "debunked" and its methodology has been discredited.

ADVERTISEMENT "The debunked study you’re referring to was based on 21 undecided voters," Clinton tweeted. "For context that’s about half the number of people associated with your campaign who have been indicted."



Trump's tweet appeared to refer to research from Robert Epstein, a psychologist with a group based in Vista, Calif., called the American Institute for Behavioral Research and Technology.
