Trump says Google should be ‘sued for manipulating millions of votes’ in Clinton’s favor in 2016
Google’s search engine may have “manipulated” millions of voters into supporting Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential election by way of slanted search results, US President Donald Trump has claimed in a tweet.
In a tweet on Monday, Trump suggested that a “report just out” concludes that the tech giant manipulated election results by up to 16 million votes, though it was not immediately clear what report he referring to.
“Wow, Report Just Out! Google manipulated from 2.6 million to 16 million votes for Hillary Clinton in 2016 Election!” the president said.
Wow, Report Just Out! Google manipulated from 2.6 million to 16 million votes for Hillary Clinton in 2016 Election! This was put out by a Clinton supporter, not a Trump Supporter! Google should be sued. My victory was even bigger than thought! @JudicialWatch

In June testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee, Dr. Robert Epstein, a psychologist and self-professed Clinton supporter, told lawmakers that Google had “impacted undecided voters in a way that gave at least 2.6 million votes to Hillary Clinton,” by way of “biased search results.” President Trump may have been citing Epstein, though in his testimony he never gave the figure of 16 million.
