It was on the morning show “Sunday Morning Futures” with Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo that Trump posed for his first televised interview since the election.
Among other things, he made accusations that political leaders had called him after the elections to tell him that “this election is the most complicated they have seen,” reports CNN.
Trump supporters demand money back
– fraud
– If you look at what happened. The greatest people called me and congratulated me. Political people. They said, “You just won the election,” Trump said in the interview.
According to the president, this should have happened around ten o’clock on election night.
In the interview, the president also repeats the accusations of electoral fraud. Nor does it rule out that electoral fraud is very extensive and that several of the highest authorities in the country are involved.
– The FBI and the Ministry of Justice, I don’t know, maybe they are involved, he said in the interview.
He added that he does not understand how people’s trust should not be destroyed by this.
– This choice was rigged. It is a total scam. It also remains that way, as people hide. The problem we have when we go to the judges is that people don’t want to get involved, Trump said in the interview.
Supported
Lately, Trump has repeatedly taken a hard line against Fox News. However, it was this channel that got the first proper television interview with the president after the elections.
But the host who interviewed him on Sunday may not have been chosen at random.
Maria Bartiromo continues to be a Trump supporter and, according to Expressen, is initially the only journalist from the channel who has emphasized Trump’s allegations of electoral fraud. This despite the absence of evidence in this regard.
In the interview, he also supports the president in several of his claims about a rigged election.
– This is unpleasant. We cannot allow the American electoral system to be corrupted, Bartiromo said during the interview.
Towards the Republicans
In the interview, Trump also spoke out against the Republican Governor of Georgia, Brian P. Kemp.
– I am ashamed to have supported him, he said in the interview on Sunday.
Earlier this week, he also lashed out at Georgia’s Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who has defended the state’s electoral process, calling it an “enemy of the people.”
In Sunday’s interview, Trump also does not rule out that he will appoint a letter investigator to investigate the 2020 elections.
Now Trump may be in trouble
In recent days, he has been particularly tough on the electoral process in Georgia, which he says is rigged. This status has been won by the Republicans since 1992.
In this state, there is also a Senate election on January 5, an election that could be decisive for Republicans to retain power in the Senate.
Several have expressed concern that Trump’s repeated claims about a rigged election could make it difficult for Republican candidates to win state elections.
