No. Once the votes in the electoral college are cast (the only votes that really matter for the presidency), and read/tallied in Congress by the sitting Vice-President, it’s done.

Moreover, how would one even prove Clinton would have been the rightful victor? Short of finding voting machines with inaccurate counts, the votes were cast and counted, voters’ remorse isn’t grounds for overturning an election, at least not in the US.

Should Drumpf have been shown to have materially benefited from a verifiably rigged election, I suspect the course of action would simply be a new election. I don’t think there’s any precedent or Constitutional case for this.
