SCIUTTO: Just 83 days until Election Day and we now know who will represent the Democratic Party, Joe Biden making his historic pick, selecting Senator Kamala Harris as his running mate. On the very same day, President Trump, once again, attacked America's voting process, claiming that though the evidence contradicts that China and Russia will somehow grab plenty of mail-in ballots come November. Well, let's speak to someone who has been briefed on the intelligence surrounding the threat to this election, California congressman, former 2020 president candidate, Eric Swalwell. He is also the author of a book relevant to this discussion, and that is Endgame, Inside the Impeachment of Donald J. Trump. And Congressman Swalwell will have an inside view of that. Congressman, thanks for taking the time this morning.</s>REP. ERIC SWALWELL (D-CA): Of course, good morning, Jim and Poppy.</s>SCIUTTO: So, first, let's take this presidential claim head-on, and I'm not going to play the sound again because it's a claim made without evidence. But you're familiar with what the president says that China and Russia are just going to grab batches of mail-in ballots, fake them, et cetera. Based on the evidence you've seen, is that true or false?</s>SWALWELL: False, absolutely false, but that won't stop him from saying it. There is overwhelming evidence that, just like 2016, Russia has a preferred candidate in this race, that's Donald Trump and they're seeking to help him, and that they have a candidate that they would like to tear down just as they did in 2016, and that's Joe Biden.

Trump Claims without Evidence that China and Russia will Grab Plenty of Mail-In Ballots.
