Trump attributed the claim to the right-wing One America News Network.
Trump has insisted that he is the winner of the 2020 presidential vote -- which major media organizations called for Biden on November 7 -- and has refused to concede, while making unfounded allegations of election fraud.

Biden's success in Pennsylvania was key, pushing him over the 270 total electoral votes he needed to secure the presidency.
A spokesperson for Pennsylvania's Department of State rejected the claim that 221,000 votes were switched.
"There is no factual basis for this claim. Allegations of fraud and illegal activity have been repeatedly debunked and dismissed by the courts. Those attacks against the core values of Americans are intended to undermine our democracy, and we must reject them," the spokesperson said.
"Pennsylvania is going to fight every single attempt to disenfranchise voters. We will protect this election and the democratic process. Pennsylvania will count every vote, and we will protect the count of every vote."
Election technology company Dominion Voting Systems also pushed back against the allegations in Trump's tweet.
"Dominion categorically denies any claims about any vote switching or alleged software issues with our voting systems," it tweeted.
