Trump claims federal law enforcement is 'watching' Sisolak [View all]

Trump said in interview Thursday on the Fox Business Network that when it comes to the upcoming election, "there's bad things happening out there" and that there are "cheaters" and "con men" in Nevada.

Trump, who has engaged in a months-long effort to sow doubt about the integrity of the election, falsely stated that Nevada doesn't have any signatures on its ballots and then claimed he had law enforcement watching Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak.
