Kris Kobach, the Kansas secretary of state and vice chairman of President Trump's voter fraud panel, said the country "may never know" if Hillary Clinton actually won the popular vote.
Pressed by NBC News's Katy Tur in a Wednesday interview about whether Clinton won the popular vote in the 2016 election, Kobach quickly cast doubt on the results, saying, "We will probably never know the answer to that question."
But he said the votes that led to President Trump's electoral victory in November were "absolutely" in doubt, as well.
Kobach, one of the nation's most ardent supporters of voter identification laws, attended the first meeting of Trump's voter fraud commission earlier Wednesday. The panel is charged with investigating the president's widely debunked claim that millions of illegal voters cost him the popular vote in November.
Results showed that Clinton won the popular tally by about 2.9 million votes.
Kobach denied that the purpose of the commission is to investigate or validate Trump's specific claims of voter fraud ............
