With recounts already requested in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, some of Donald Trump<\/a>‘s surrogates are warning the move could have consequences for Hillary Clinton<\/a>, reports The Week<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Though the Clinton campaign neither requested nor is funding the reviews, it has said it will participate by sending attorneys, notes Politico<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In a Monday interview on ‘The Steve Malzberg Show,’ Roger Stone, a Trump adviser, said<\/a>, “Hillary, I think, increases her chances of prosecution by acting this way.”<\/p>\n

He also asserted that either Clinton or George Soros is somehow funding the recount effort, but provided no evidence.<\/p>\n

According to Politico<\/a>, “…Kellyanne Conway…also seemed to draw a connection between the recount effort and the prosecution question during a TV interview.”<\/p>\n

She told CNN<\/a> on Sunday that Trump has, “been incredibly gracious and magnanimous to Secretary Clinton at a time when, for whatever reason, her folks are saying they will join in a recount to try to somehow undo the 70-plus electoral votes that he beat her by.”<\/p>\n

Notably, that same day, Trump expressed belief that the election had been compromised, writing<\/a>, “In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally.”<\/p>\n
