(7,839 posts)President Trump refused, and instead said this in his public remarks that evening: This is a fraud on the American public. This is an embarrassment to our country. We were
getting ready to win this election. Frankly, we did win this election. We did win this election.... We want all voting to stop.37 And on the morning of November 5th, he tweeted STOP THE COUNT!3° Halting the counting of votes at that point would have violated both
State and Federal laws.
According to testimony received by the Select Committee, the only advisor present who supported President Trumps inclination to declare victory was Rudolph Giuliani, who appeared to be inebriated.*° President Trumps Attorney General, Bill Barr, who had earlier left the election night gathering, perceived the Presidents statement this way:
[R]ight out of the box on election night, the President claimed that there was major fraud underway. I mean, this happened, as far as I could tell, before there was actually any potential of looking at evidence. He claimed there was major fraud. And it seemed to be based on the dynamic that, at the end of the evening, a lot of Democratic votes came in which changed the vote counts in certain States, and that seemed to be the basis for this broad claim that there was major fraud. And I didnt think much of that, because people had been talking for weeks and everyone understood for weeks that that was going to be what happened on election night.
