After Trump’s phone call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger where Trump pressured him to just “find 11,780 votes,” former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows said Trump “knew” he already lost the 2020 election.
“He can’t possibly think we’re gonna pull this off. That call was crazy,” former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson told Mark Meadows after the call ended. “He (Meadows) started shaking his head and he’s like ‘No Cass, he knows this is over,'” Hutchinson recounted. “He knows he lost.”
Former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson said she and Chief of Staff Mark Meadows crossed paths with a “raging” and “fired up” Trump that day as he walked out of the oval office, who then told Meadows something to the effect of, “I don’t want people to know we lost, Mark. This is embarrassing. We need to figure it out. I don’t want people to know that we lost.”
