Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich claims President Trump should be prepared to file suit in every state and urged Senate Republicans to open up investigations as he backed up Trump's claims of 'fraud' in the elections.

Gingrich, an architect of the House GOP's 1994 takeover, claimed without evidence that Nevada was being set up to be 'stolen' and echoed the president's claims of 'fraud.'

Gingrich told 'Fox & Friends' Wednesday morning: 'I advise him first of all to ask Sen. McConnell Sen. Graham to have the Judiciary Committee in the Senate open up investigation on all of these different states,' Gingrich said, referencing Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina.

'Philadelphia is notorious for [being] a place that steals votes. All those things ought to be looked at , first of all by the law enforcement side,' Gingrich said. 'Because those things are crimes.'

'Second, I think he should be prepared … The president should be prepared to file suit in every single state and he ought to go back and look carefully at Arizona. He shouldn’t assume automatically that that was legitimate,' he then added.

He said Nevada, where Biden carved out a narrow lead, is 'set up to be stolen by the Democrats.'

Gingrich's comments signal an aggressive posture by the president to hurl accusations at states still counting votes while mounting an aggressive legal strategy.

Trump gave a shout-out to the former Georgia Republican lawmakers at his speech early Wednesday where he claimed he 'won' the election, claiming Democrats had gone to court – even threatening to go to the Supreme Court himself.

Trump said he was 'going' to the Supreme Court, when in fact the course of action would be for Republican lawyers to sue in individual states and county jurisdictions seeking to stop or modify the count in some way.

'They knew they couldn’t win so they said let’s go to court,' Trump said. 'And did I predict this Newt, did I say this?' Trump said, speaking at the White House. 'Either they were going to win or if they didn’t win they’ll take us to court,' Trump said.

The Associated Press and Fox news called Nevada for Trump, but Biden leads there 51 to 48, with 98 percent of precincts reporting. The Trump camp was reportedly furious after Fox called the state early, undermining the president's claim to stop the count.

'We were winning everything and all of a sudden it was just called off,' Trump fumed. Gingrich did not specify any charges; the votes there were not legitimate.

Gingrich's call for a scorched earth legal strategy came after Trump declared election victory on Wednesday morning despite the fact that millions of votes remain uncounted, calling the process a 'fraud on the American people' and claiming he would go to the Supreme Court to challenge the result.

Neither the President nor Joe Biden has yet reached the 270 electoral college votes they need to claim the White House and ballot counting will continue throughout the day.
