WASHINGTON - Former US president Donald Trump again refused to acknowledge that he lost the 2020 election and said he would pardon many supporters convicted for their involvement in the Jan 6, 2021 attack on the US Capitol in a rare and contentious CNN town hall on Wednesday .
When asked by CNN host Kaitlan Collins whether he would acknowledge that he lost to Democrat Joe Biden in 2020, the Republican Trump launched a tirade, reasserting false claims that the election was rigged against him. His standing firm on his false claims about the 2020 elections defied concerns of Republican Party officials that his dwelling on his loss could cost the party support among Republican voters who want to move on and focus on more pressing issues.Trump declined to express regret for the deadly attack on the US Capitol when supporters sought to prevent Congress for ratifying the election result."I am inclined to pardon many of them.
The audience of New Hampshire Republicans and independent voters who plan to vote in the Republican primary were generally very supportive of Trump, giving him a standing ovation when he took to the stage.
