Washington: As per media reports U.S President Donald Trump incited chaos in the US congress, yesterday. It is also reported that the incident (in which a far-right group created a law and order situation in the U.S capital) was orchestrated on right-wing social media networks and was driven by conspiracies and false allegations of voter fraud.

But there’s no evidence of wrongdoing. It’s not clear exactly what Trump means by a “voter dump”, but he may be referring to the fact that large batches of votes were released at once. This nevertheless, is standard practice and a valid part of the vote-counting process.

However, no meaningful facts from his own administration and/or election officials was cited or made available. Instead, Trump and his legal staff have focused on conspiracy theories that have made way on social media networks through right-wing news agencies.

Now then, let’s look at what exactly happened;
