John Micklethwait spoke with Trump at the Economic Club of Chicago amid his run to retake the White House, asking at one point for Trump’s view on Google and its parent company, Alphabet.

Sighing, Trump replied, “I just haven’t gotten over something the Justice Department did yesterday, where Virginia cleaned up its voter rolls and got rid of thousands and thousands of bad votes, and the Justice Department sued them” — a reference to the agency last week accusing the state of illegally removing people from its rolls too close to the Nov. 5 election.
