US Vice President Mike Pence will head a federal commission that will look into voter registration fraud, US President Donald Trump said today.

"I'm going to set up a commission to be headed by Vice President Mike Pence, and we're going to look at it very, very carefully," Trump said as he buttressed his point that there is a massive voters fraud during the general elections.

Voter fraud, he said, has nothing to do with the end result, but it has to do with registration itself.

"It doesn't have to do with the vote, although the end result. It has to due with the registration. When you look at the registration and you see dead people that have voted, when you see people that are registered in two states, that have voted in two states, when you see other things, when you see illegals, people that are not citizens and they are on the registration roles," Trump was quoted as saying by the Fox News.

A large number of people worldwide have lost their lives because of America's mistakes, President Donald Trump has said as he defended his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin by equating his actions with those of the US government.

"Well, take a look at what we've done too. We've made a lot of mistakes. I've been against the war in Iraq from the beginning," Trump said during an interview with Fox News.

"A lot of mistakes, OK, but a lot of people were killed.

So a lot of killers around, believe me," said the US President when told that the Russian President Vladimir Putin is a "killer".

"There are a lot of killers. We've got a lot of killers.

What, you think our country's so innocent? You think our country's so innocent?" Trump asked.

Trump said he would like to co-operate with the Russians in the fight against ISIS. He also said that he respects Putin, but this does not mean that the two would get along.

US President Donald Trump said that he has asked the Department of Homeland Security to do a very "careful" checkup of those entering the country after a US court rejected a request by his administration to reinstate travel ban on citizens of seven Muslim-majority nations.

The US President continued to be critical of the judge for passing an order that halted his executive order which banned people form seven countries from entering the United States.

"I have instructed Homeland Security to check people coming into our country VERY CAREFULLY. The courts are making the job very difficult!" Trump tweeted.

"Just cannot believe a judge would put our country in such peril. If something happens blame him and court system.

People pouring in. Bad!" Trump said.
