FNC's Bret Baier To Trump..You Lost The 2020 Election

In an interview Monday, former President Donald Trump was asked how he would win back independent female suburban voters who’ve been turned off by Trump’s election lies and criminal cases. “First of all, I won in 2020 by a lot, okay? Let’s get that straight. I won in 2020.”

As Trump began to repeat a litany of election-related lies like “stuffed ballots,” Fox News Channel’s Bret Baier was blunt: “you lost the 2020 election,” and then countered Trump’s lies. “There were recounts in all of the swing states,” Baier said. “There was not significant widespread fraud.” Baier noted that a series of lawsuits alleging voter fraud ultimately produced “no evidence.”

Former President Trump also defended his storage of classified documents and vowed to continue pursuing the 2024 Republican nomination despite his legal woes in his first TV interview since he was indicted on 37 federal charges earlier this month.

Fox News Digital reports the former president sat down with Baier for a wide-ranging exclusive interview scheduled to air in two segments on Monday and Tuesday on "Special Report." Baier told his colleague Martha MacCallum on "The Story" that the interview addresses nearly "every question that you would want to ask the former president."

In clips previewing the interview, Trump defended his reluctance to hand over the documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate while taking aim at National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) when pressed on details of the indictment by Baier.

Trump just does not know when to keep his mouth shut.

"The only way NARA could ever get this stuff, this back would be [to say] please, please, please could we have it back," Trump said. 

"They did ask for it," the Fox News host responded.

"No, we were talking," Trump interjected.
