Trump tweet under spotlight

The White House says there is no evidence to support Donald Trump's claim of widespread voter fraud in the 2016 US presidential election. The president-elect tweeted over the weekend: '...I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally'. It came after Hilary Clinton's team said it would support a vote recount in Wisconsin which has been requested by a Green Party candidate. So what is this tweet all about?
