US President Donald Trump says he will join Texas AG in a lawsuit he has filed in the US Supreme Court against the election process in four key states.

"We will be INTERVENING in the Texas (plus many other states) case. This is the big one. Our Country needs a victory!" Trump tweeted on Wednesday.

On Tuesday, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced that he will file a lawsuit in the Supreme Court against four battleground states of Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, claiming that the violations in these states have directly impacted voters in his state.

He also asked the US Supreme Court to invalidate these states' 62 Electoral College votes, a move that would change the course of the election in favor of Trump.

Trump has so far refused to concede defeat in the election and mounted multiple legal challenges to reverse the results in several key states.

However, his campaign’s efforts have so far met with little success in the courtroom or on the ground.

In the last case, the US Supreme Court declared on Tuesday that it has rejected a GOP bid to overturn the victory of President-elect Joe Biden in the state of Pennsylvania, arguing that "no court has ever issued an order nullifying a governor's certification of presidential election results."

The court ruling comes after the US Attorney General William Barr announced last week that the Department of Justice has no fraud on a scale that could change the outcome of the election.
