Former President Donald Trump said in an interview that he received counsel from numerous people shortly after the 2020 election but that it was his decision to push the false claim he won the election and try to overturn the results.
There it is, plain as day. He literally just admitted to his crimes.
Here’s the thing… This new admission doesn’t exist in a vacuum. The prosecution have him on tape, when he didn’t know he was being recorded, admitting he lost the election. Multiple times, in fact.
So that aspect of the case is open-and-shut: He knew he lost, and he said as much multiple times.
Given that context, his recent statement comes off as an attempt to walk it back, by doubling down on the insane idea that he thought he needed to overturn the election. In making that “defense,” he fully admits to trying to overturn it. I fully expect the prosecution to use it as evidence that he did, in fact, commit the crime, while using the earlier recordings as context proving that he did, in fact, know he was committing a crime.

Can you link me where he said he knew he lost in a valid election? I haven’t seen that yet. Thanks!
