While Trump did not cite the source of his claim, it came minutes after a segment on Fox Business surfacing month-old congressional testimony from behavioral psychologist Robert Epstein. In testimony last month to the Senate Judiciary Committee, Epstein claimed that based on his own research, “biased search results generated by Google’s search algorithm likely impacted undecided voters in a way that gave at least 2.6 million votes to Hillary Clinton.”
