Former President Donald Trump criticized a Newsmax reporter in an interview aired Thursday about his boss’s refusal, like Fox News, to continue the lie about the 2020 election.
The former president was interviewed through Rob Finnerty when he postulated that news networks, adding that Newsmax himself, were “afraid of prosecution” if they subsidized long-discredited plots about voter fraud, foreign interference and other lies spread through Trump’s crusade after the 2020 election.
“Fox doesn’t wear it and, by the way, you don’t wear it either. You’re afraid you’ll be sued or something. I do not know. One day you’ll have to do this,” he told M. . Finnerty.
Then he challenged the reporter: “You’re going to cut off what I’m saying right now. “
“Of no!” an incredulous Mr. Finnerty replied.
Trump then suggested she publish the interview “before Chris sees it,” referring to her former ally, Newsmax CEO Chris Ruddy.
The exchange comes as Trump made some of his first comments amid recent revelations of the committee’s Jan. 6 public hearings. I heard how the president and others knew that violence was most likely to occur as a result of their attempts to overturn the Jan. 6 election.
Mr. Trump bluntly denounced Ms. Hutchinson as a “leak” and claimed that much of her testimony is false. Meadows, however, continues to escape the committee’s subpoena for his testimony and refuses to give his side of the story under oath. The same goes for Trump’s other allies.
In its hearings, the committee relied heavily on Hutchinson and former members of Trump’s management and inner circle as they seek to make the voices of Trump’s former allies heard; this strategy has well countered persistent Republican court cases that hearings are one-sided.
The former president continues to refuse to abandon his many false claims related to the 2020 election, all of which have been uniformly refuted through state-run manual recounts, as well as statements by senior officials at Trump’s Justice Department and other agencies that directly reject the widespread claims. . fraud has occurred.
