The House Minority Leader said on Sunday that Trump insisted millions voted illegally in their first meeting

In her first meeting with President Donald Trump after the election, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi D-Calif., said the president claimed to have won the popular vote, but she had informed him otherwise.
Pelosi described her first meeting with the president during a conversation with MSNBC host Joy Reid at New York Citys 92 Street Y on Sunday. The meeting took place in the East Wing of the White House, according to Pelosi because he wanted to have a little hospitality, pigs in blankets, kosher meatballs. Bless him for his hospitality. Once the meeting began, Pelosi said that Trumps first comments were, You know I won the popular vote.
Now Im a very courteous person, Pelosi explained, but I thought, Well he seems a little casual about this so Ill be a little casual too. So I said, Mr. President, that isnt true and theres no evidence, facts or data to support what youre saying.'
Trump then cited that millions voted illegally.
Oh yeah, 3 to 5 million people voted illegally and Im not even counting California, Trump had said, according to Pelosi. The president had repeatedly made these claims since his election victory, and even reiterated them after taking office.
