Trump became ‘detached from reality’ after 2020 election, Congressional hearing reveals | FarrahTomazin
: Donald Trump dismissed his campaign advisers’ guidance that he should not declare victory at the 2020 election until all the votes had been counted and instead followed drunk lawyer Rudy Giuliani’s advice to “just claim he won”, a Congressional hearing has been told.
The only person arguing to the contrary was Rudy Giuliani, the former New York mayor-turned-Trump’s personal lawyer who had taken on an advisory role during the 2020 campaign. Hair dye runs down the face of Donald Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Guiliani during a press conference in November.“It was far too early to be making any calls like that. Ballots were still being counted and ballots were still going to be counted for days,” Stepien told the committee in videotaped evidence.
Further evidence of his deposition was played today, in which Barr told the committee that he was worried Trump was becoming increasingly delusional in the aftermath of the 2020 election as he continued to make claims of rigged voting machines and fake votes being dumped in battleground states. Over two hours, the committee laid out in meticulous detail the extent of Trump’s efforts to keep himself in office. It made the case that Trump not only incited the January 6 Capitol attack but was central to a sweeping and methodical conspiracy to overturn Biden’s victory despite the advice of his top aides and family members.
