In light of his extraordinary declaration, I want to hold him accountable by demanding to know what he publicly declared he “knows about that” election.

Did he mean he “knows something” in the sense that intelligence agencies “know something”? Could he have meant he “knows something” funny (monkey business) about elections in Ethiopia?
