White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer today repeated that President Donald Trump believesmillions of people voted illegally in the 2016 election, despite offering zero evidence in support of the claim.

CNN host Jake Tapperseemed in disbelief while covering the press conference later in the day, calling out the outlandish claim for what it is: a fiction.

It is empirically a stunning allegation for which the White House is providing no evidence, Tapper said during the breaking news segment. And there is a reason they are providing no evidence. There is no evidence it is not true.

Spicer failed to offer any evidence during the daily press briefing, telling reporters that Trumps belief is based on studies and evidence that people have presented to him, but failing to mention any specifics.

Numerousnews outlets and fact-checkers have investigated the claim, finding no evidence of widespread voter fraud in the 2016 election.

Still, Trump pushed his voter fraud conspiracy during his campaign, as well as after the election, stating that he would have won the popular vote if not for the millions of people who voted illegally.

However, if Trumps claims were even remotely true, Tapper said, he would be derelict not to order a major investigation.

It would likely require a vast conspiracy involving public officials all over the country and would likely have had far-reaching impact in other contests, tainting races down the ballot not just the presidential race.

If President Trumps beliefs are true, Tapper added, Republican leaders in congress should be holding hearings and trumpeting this injustice every single day.

Despite his insistence on pushing this debunked claim, Trump does not appear to have many strong allies in it.

Senate Republicans dodged questions surrounding the claims on Tuesday, and even staunch Trump supporter Mike Huckabee said in an interview with Fox Business Network he is not sure why [Trump] brought it up.

Spicer likewise did not say whether he agreed with Trump during the press conference a telling detail, according to Tapper.

[Spicer] did not say that he shared the belief, even after he was asked. Now, why would that be? Tapper said. Perhaps because theres zero evidence of widespread voter fraud in the 2016 election. Now, has there ever been voter fraud? Any instances? Yes. Massive voter fraud? Three to 5 million votes cast illegally in 2016? No, its simply not true.
