Vildt nok. Det hvide hus bringer hm... " alternative fakta" på ny officiel hjemmeside. :

"Donald Trump har gentagne gange påstået, at valgsvindel var skyld i hans nederlag til Joe Biden i 2020. Det er til gengæld uset, at Det Hvide Hus fremsætter påstanden på en officiel regeringshjemmeside. Det gør de nu.."
