According to a statement issued by President-elect Donald Trump, a plan to recount of votes cast in the 2016 election in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, is a scam by the Green Party.

The Trump recount comments continued, with the president-elect describing the results of the election as having already been conceded.

Trump contended that the move by Green Party leader Dr. Jill Stein challenges and abuses the results of the election and stated that they should be respected.

President-elect Trump noted in his statement that Jill Stein wasn't on the ballot in several states and that she captured less than one percent of the popular vote. Trump accused the Stein recount plan of being a ploy to fill her coffers with money, which the president-elect, who recently settled a 25 million fraud lawsuit, as reported by the Inquisitr, contends will never be spent on what he sees as a ridiculous recount.

CNN: Donald Trump blasts recount as 'ridiculous' and 'a scam'

President-elect Donald Trump ripped the election recount on Saturday, calling it "a scam" and "ridiculous" and noting that Hillary Clinton had already conceded.

Trump charged in a statement that the effort was nothing but a fundraising ploy by the Green Party and its nominee, Jill Stein.
"This recount is just a way for Jill Stein, who received less than one percent of the vote overall and wasn't even on the ballot in many states, to fill her coffers with money, most of which she will never even spend on this ridiculous recount," the President-elect said in a statement, which labeled the effort as "ridiculous" in a headline.

Stein has already raised more than $5 million online for the recount in Wisconsin, which may begin some time next week.
Appearing on CNN, Stein dismissed Trump's suggestion that the funds wouldn't be spent on the recount.

"For his information, this is all going into a dedicated and segregated account so that it can only be spent on the recount," she told CNN's Pamela Brown on "Newsroom."
