white house reporter for the associated press, jonathan lemire is with us for the morning. he was up way too early. we ll start with the report from friday, republicans investigating the 2.1 million ballots cast last year in arizona confirmed the accuracy of the official results that joe biden won maricopa county. cyber ninjas concluded that biden had won 360 more votes than the county awarded him in the official count. however, former president trump continued to make his baseless claims of last year s vote, issuing a flurry of statements. what is becoming a litmus test for many members of his own party. he continues spreading the big lie over the weekend especially on saturday at a rally in perry, georgia. we won on arizona forensic audit yesterday on a level you would not believe. it s clear in arizona that they must decertify the election. it was a corruption. it s my opinion by the way that georgia is far worst. and hopefully the arizona attorney general good man ....
