WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump walked back his threat on Wednesday to withhold funding from Michigan over its efforts to expand mail-in voting as a health safety measure during the coronavirus outbreak.
The Republican president, who is seeking re-election in November, told reporters at the White House he does not think it will be necessary to withhold funds. Trump repeated his belief that there will be fraud if people mail in ballots, despite not having any evidence to support the claim.
