Trump criticizes CNN on Twitter after he retweeted a string of supporters' claims about voter fraud

President-elect Donald Trump has lashed out on Twitter criticizing CNN as he faces questions about his unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud. 
Trump retweeted a string of messages on Monday night from supporters over voter fraud allegations. 
The tweets were critical of a CNN reporter who called the accusations 'blatant and baseless'.
'CNN is so embarrassed by their total (100%) support of Hillary Clinton, and yet her loss in a landslide, that they don't know what to do,' he wrote. 


Trump has responded to a recount effort by arguing that illegal voting happened in the November election, but he has offered no proof. 
He has singled out Virginia, California and New Hampshire, but there has been no indication of widespread election tampering or voter fraud in those states or any others. 
The President-elect claimed on Twitter on Sunday that he would have won the popular vote if it were not for 'the millions of people who voted illegally.' 
'In addition to winning the Electoral College by a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally,' he said.
