A vote recount in Wisconsin, requested and funded by Trump’s campaign team, increased Joe Biden’s lead by 132 votes. But Donald Trump by no means gives the state lost. He now wants to achieve that a total of 238,000 votes are disqualified. Namely those that were cast before the election day as part of the early voting, as well as postal votes from voters who, according to their own information, cannot leave their apartment and are therefore exempt from the otherwise applicable identification requirement. The election in Wisconsin was decided by around 20,000 votes for Biden. Since most of the postal and early votes went to the Democrats, their exclusion could tip the election result.

Vice Governor: Supreme Court will teach Trump a lesson
After one legal defeat after another, the hope of Trump’s legal team rests in the US Supreme Court, the highest court in Washington with its large conservative majority of judges. The Vice-Governor of Pennsylvania, John Fetterman, looks calmly before a lawsuit by the Republicans against the election results in his state. He even hopes so, because the Trump team will be taught a lesson from the Supreme Court (literally: “They’re gonna get their clock cleaned there”), just as they have done several times by the Pennsylvania courts. A ruling by the Supreme Court could finally resolve the matter, Fetterman told CNN.
“NYT”: Israel’s killing of Iran’s nuclear physicist was possibly Biden’s plan
In a commentary on the murder of the Iranian top nuclear physicist Mohsen Fachrisadeh, the “New York Times” suspected that Israel might have tried with the elimination to torpedo Joe Biden’s plans to resume the nuclear deal with Iran after he took office. In view of the renewed tensions between Washington and Tehran that followed, it is said that “the murder of the scientist […] threatens to ruin the efforts of President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr. to revive the nuclear deal with Iran before he can even begin his diplomacy with Tehran. And that could well have been the main objective of the operation “. There is little doubt that Israel was behind the attack, and Netanyahu’s government had not even tried to dispel the suspicion. There has been open enmity between Israel and Iran for decades, and Netanyahu’s declared goal is to prevent a resumption of the nuclear deal.
