Former DHS Secretary Johnson: 'Disconcerting' to see Trump, Meadows cast doubt on election

Former Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, who served in the Obama administration, said Sunday it is "disconcerting" to hear President Trump and his chief of staff Mark Meadows cast doubt on the integrity of the election.

Trump has spent months claiming that mail-in voting leads to widespread voter fraud, though there is no evidence to suggest expanded mail-in ballots during the coronavirus pandemic would lead to an increase in fraud.

Meadows has questioned FBI Director Christopher Wray after he testified before Congress that he has not seen evidence of widespread voter fraud in a major election.

"It's disconcerting to see the president and his chief of staff cast doubt on the integrity of our democracy," Johnson said on CBS's "Face the Nation." "In fact, mail-in voting is almost as old as the nation. There are states now where the predominant way to vote is by mail."
