Since losing the election more than two weeks ago, President Donald Trump has made baseless claims of election fraud and refused to concede defeat. According to Business Insider, Trump seemed entirely unprepared to face even the possibility that he might lose to President-elect Joe Biden. On election night, sources say Trump and top aides were convinced that as in 2016, Trump would upset the odds and clinch victory. But when Fox News projected that Biden had flipped the key swing state of Arizona, a source says the president was 'yelling at everyone.' Trump's attempt to persuade Fox to retract the projection failed, and Arizona is expected to certify Biden's win in the state on Monday. Trump has since stepped up his war on Fox News, and in a tweet on Saturday described the network as 'virtually unwatchable.'
On Monday, Fox News host Brian Kilmeade sounded the alarm over Pres. Trump's looming impeachment. Trump is being impeached over the Capitol Hill siege that saw thousands of dollars of damage and 6 people dead. The longtime host of "Fox & Friends" argued impeachment would only lead to more attacks. "50 state houses are being threatened on Inauguration Day — this is the last thing you wanna do."
President Donald Trump has been asking aides and lawyers about his self-pardon power. This includes White House counsel Pat Cipollone, according to CNN. Some of those conversations have happened in recent weeks, one of the sources says. Trump has asked about the legal and political consequences of a self-pardon. A Justice Department legal memo says the president cannot pardon himself. However, he can step down and ask his vice president to take over and pardon him.
President Donald Trump posted a video on Twitter, addressing demonstrators and rioters who overtook the US Capitol. In the now deleted video, Pres. Trump praised the rioters and asked them to stand down. Trump also repeated false claims that there was widespread election fraud. "This was a fraudulent election, but we can't play into the hands of these people." "We have to have peace." "So go home. We love you; you're very special."
Since losing the 2020 election, President Donald Trump has continued to attack the integrity of the voting system. Some of his Fox News allies have homed in on the company Smartmatic--because of the services it provided Los Angeles County for the election. But CNN reports the voting technology sent Fox News a blistering legal threat accusing of participating in a 'disinformation campaign' against it. In response, Fox has begun airing a remarkable news package debunking claims its hosts and guests have propagated. CNN reports the package aired for the first time Friday night on Lou Dobbs' show. Fox News said the same package would air Saturday night on Jeanine Pirro's program as well as Sunday morning on Maria Bartiromo's show.
