President Trump will sign an executive order Thursday detailing the nature of the investigation he has promised into his claim of widespread voter fraud, the White House said. Trump was still working with senior advisors on the details of the order, which would address potential voter fraud and faulty registration, Press Secretary Sean Spicer told reporters. The report's author recently reiterated its conclusion that voter rolls are susceptible to fraud but not that any widespread fraud has occurred. Trump will sign the order in Washington after a trip to Philadelphia to speak with House and Senate Republicans, the White House said. Advocates have expressed concern that the investigation will be used as a way to limit voters' ability to cast ballots.
