Washington: Donald Trump has claimed that the US presidential election could be “rigged”. As the Republican nominee tried to divert attention away from a disastrous week for his campaign, he labelled his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton as “the devil”. "I'm afraid the election is going to be rigged," Trump said yesterday in Columbus, Ohio. The White House hopeful who emerged winner in a primary of 17 candidates claimed Clinton had to fight only against Senator Bernie Sanders. “First of all, it was rigged, and I'm afraid the election is going to be rigged, I have to be honest.” At another rally, Trump branded the former secretary of state as a “devil”. Trump used this characterisation of Clinton when speaking about Sanders’ decision to support her. “He made a deal with the devil. She’s the devil,” Trump alleged.
