NEWSDonald Trump Claims He Didn't 'Respect' Campaign Members Who Told Him There Was No 2020 Election Fraud: 'It Was My Decision'
Donald Trump admitted that members of his campaign told him that no fraud had taken place in the 2020 presidential election during his Sunday, September 17, interview on NBC's Meet the Press.
"In many cases, I didn’t respect them," the 77-year-old said of his legal team, advisors and other staffers who informed him that he lost the vote fairly. "But I did respect others. I respected many others that said the election was rigged."
Donald Trump was indicted twice in August in connection with his attempts to overturn the 2020 election results.
"It was my decision, but I listened to some people," he continued. "When I added it all up, the election was rigged."
"You know who I listen to? Myself. I saw what happened. I watched that election, and I thought the election was over at 10 o’clock in the evening," he added.
Trump has repeatedly insisted on interviews and on social media that the cases against him are a scam to interfere in his 2024 campaign.
