In his first five days in office, President Donald Trump has signed several executive orders, including a directive to build a wall on the Mexican border and a measure designed to begin the repeal of Obamacare.

In an interview with ABC News last night, President Trump reiterated his belief that there was significant voter fraud in the election, causing his loss of the popular vote, despite no evidence showing widespread election fraud. Host Frank Stasio talks with political junkie Ken Rudin about the latest in the Trump administration.

Editor's Note: In this interview Ken Rudin misidentified Natural Security Adviser Michael Flynn as Michael Kelly.
