The big three broadcast networks, to no surprise, ignored Trump and didn’t interrupt normal programming to carry the speech. While MSNBC decided not to take the speech live, Fox News and CNN both aired large portions of Trump’s fairly low-energy and misinformation-peppered announcement. Hannity, whose show hyped Trump’s announcement throughout the event in the chyron, turned to pro-Trump commentators Pete Hegseth and Mike Huckabee for analysis. It’s also worth noting how print and digital outlets covered the speech. Instead, Trump joked he would not “use the term ‘fake news media’” because he wanted to keep the event “elegant.”We’ll see how long that lasts.

Donald Trump privately admitted defeat after the 2020 election, a new book claims. At the same time, the former president was publicly claiming victory had been stolen from him. The House Jan. 6 committee has heard evidence Trump knew his stolen election claims were false.

The committee argues that Trump knew, or should have known, his election fraud claims were false but continued making them anyway.

„După trei ani şi jumătate incredibili, voi părăsi Casa Albă pentru a mă dedica altor proiecte”, a scris cea care a fost anterior purtătoarea de cuvânt a vicepreşedintelui Mike Pence şi apoi a Pentagonului, înainte de a prelua postul actual, citează Agerpres. „Sunt foarte mândră de lucrurile incredibile realizate pentru a face ţara noastră mai puternică şi mai sigură", a adăugat Alyssa Farah, fără a menţiona numele preşedintelui Donald Trump, al cărui mandat se încheie pe 20 ianuarie 2021. După alegerile din 3 noiembrie, câştigate de democratul Joe Biden, dar al căror rezultat republicanul Donald Trump a refuzat până acum să îl recunoască, Alyssa Farah a fost destul de discretă. Atitudinea sa a contrastat cu cea a purtătoarei de cuvânt a Casei Albe, Kayleigh McEnany, care a transmis neobosită acuzaţiile de fraudă ale preşedintelui, fără nicio dovadă tangibilă care să le susţină.
