A former White House aide testified Trump admitted he lost the election shortly after it was called but wanted to keep fighting to overturn the result.
The transcript of Hutchinson’s September 14, 2022, interview with the committee, which took place after she testified publicly, was released Thursday by the panel. It details post-election conversations that Hutchinson described, where multiple people said Trump acknowledged he had lost but was unwilling to concede. Hutchinson testified that Meadows told her on November 18, 2020, that Trump “has pretty much acknowledged that he’s lost,” the transcript says.
She also shared that Ornato made “sarcastic offhand remarks” to her about the story at least two times after he initially mentioned it – on January 19 and April 16 – according to the transcript. “I have no doubts about the two instances on January 19th and April 16th about the conversation,” Hutchinson added. In the April 16 call, Hutchinson described a phone conversation to committee investigators where Ornato made a comment like “it could be worse.
