election is rigged. and clinton's campaign facing some tough questions. after a ninth day of wikileaks e-mails. more on that in a moment. but we begin with mary bruce, covering the trump campaign. >> reporter: tonight, donald trump is lashing out. saying the election can't be trusted. >> the election is being rigged by corrupt media pushing false allegations and outright lies in an effort to elect hillary clinton as president. >> reporter: without evidence, trump is increasingly saying in less than 48 hours, trump claiming a rigged election more than 20 times, even suggesting "saturday night live" is in on it. tweeting, time to retire, boring and unfunny show. alec baldwin portrayal stinks. media rigging election. some trump supporters are already bracing for a fight.
