There is no credible proof to support US President Donald Trump's remark at the White House reception that he lost the popular vote due to mass voter fraud, former Arkansas governor and Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee said in an interview on Tuesday.

NEW YORK (Sputnik) — Trump reportedly told congressional leaders at the reception on Inauguration Day that he would have secured the majority of votes in the general election if it was not for millions voting illegally, according to The Washington Post.

"I have no evidence whatsoever, and I don't know that anyone does, that there were that many illegal people who voted and, frankly, it doesn't matter," Huckabee told Fox News. "He's the president, and whether 20 million people voted, it doesn't matter anymore."
