A defiant Donald Trump claims he is being cheated out of victory in the US election.
The President held a White House press conference to insist "big media, big money, big tech" were trying to steal the election from him.
As his chances of victory fade, Trump said he had enjoyed "massive victories" and that on the basis of legal votes "I easily win".
"If you count the illegal votes, they can try to steal the election from us."
He slammed pollsters, the "corrupt" mail voting system, the Democrat machine and the media among others as he said there was a "tremendous amount of litigation due to how unfair this process is".
"I challenge Joe Biden and every democrat to say whether they will accept illegal votes."
Trump said there were "now only a few states yet to be decided into the presidential race" and the "voting apparatus are run in all cases by Democrats".
"We were winning in all the key locations by a lot, actually, and then our numbers started miraculously getting whittled away, in secrecy," he said.
Reaction to the claims from an exhausted-looking Trump was swift.
MSBNC, NBC and ABC News all cut away from Trump's speech shortly after he started speaking.
MSNBC instead aired legal experts fact checking the President rather than his comments.
CNN and Fox News carried the full press conference. "What a sad night for the American people ... lie after lie after lie," said CNN's anchor immediately after Trump's speech.
