Unsupported Claims



After the presidential election Donald Trump was a bit upset to see that Hilary Clinton won the popular vote by  about 3 million votes. So as a result of this President Trump made the absurd claims that those 3 million were from voters who are illegal and demanded further investigation on the voting polls. Even other republicans were astounded to hear that Trump was complaining about the popular vote when he had already won the presidency. Some republicans even denounced his claims about those 3 million votes being illegal immigrants and stated that Trump needed to backup those claims.

        This article gives another perspective to the Michael Brown case. A new documentary claims that previously unreleased footage of the event suggests that Michael Brown didn't in fact rob the convenience store.
        Jason Pollock, one of the filmmakers of the documentary, explains that he believes that Brown traded a small bag of marijuana for a bag of cigarillos and left them behind with the intention to come back later for them. However, the convenience store's lawyers continue to deny those claims and repeat once again that Brown stole the cigarillos from the convenience store.
        Some local officials believe that the footage had little significance to what had already been widely disputed.
