What happened
The commission was not created until May 11, 2017 and was disbanded on January 3, 2018 without ever issuing a report. Documents later obtained in litigation showed it had found no evidence of widespread fraud. Evidence for the 3 to 5 million claim was never produced by Trump, Sean Spicer or anyone else.
