While speaking with the press outside the White House, PBS’s Liz Landers asked Trump about the FBI issuing a grand jury subpoena for Arizona election records related to an inquiry into the results of the 2020 presidential election. Records were also recently seized by the FBI in Georgia related to the 2020 election.
Sir, in Arizona, why did the FBI seize election records in that state?” Landers asked Trump on Wednesday.
“Well, they probably thought the election was rigged, right?” Trump responded.
Landers then reminded him that Bill Barr, his former attorney general, found there was no widespread fraud in the 2020 election that would have changed the outcome, despite the president’s long-held belief there was.
“It wasn’t rigged, though,” Landers told the president.
“Oh, really? Who — how do you know?” Trump asked.
“Your own attorney general in 2020 said that there was not measurable voter fraud to change the outcome of the election,” Landers said.
“You don’t think it was rigged? I think it was rigged!” Trump said.
“Sir, where’s the evidence of that?” Landers asked.
“If you think it wasn’t rigged, you’re a rotten reporter!” Trump said before moving on.
