WASHINGTON — Former US President Donald Trump said he dismissed the views of his own lawyers in continuing to challenge his 2020 defeat because he did not respect them, saying in an interview aired on Sunday that he had made up his own mind that the election had been "rigged" — a false claim that he continues to make.
"It was my decision," Trump told NBC's Meet the Press programme, that the election was "rigged" against him, adding that he relied heavily upon his own "instincts" in coming to that conclusion. Asked why he dismissed the views of lawyers in the White House and his campaign that he had lost the election, Trump responded: "Because I didn't respect them."
"I listened to some people," Trump said. "Guys like Bill Barr, who was a stiff, but he wasn't there at the time. But he didn't do his job because he was afraid."
