President Trump reaffirmed in a recent interview that the 2020 U.S. presidential election was definitively rigged and that his administration now knows precisely who orchestrated the fraud. Speaking with Miranda Devine on Pod Force One, Trump stated: “The election was rigged. We know who rigged the election.” He further asserted, “We know everything now.”
Trump declined to name specific individuals during the interview when pressed about potential prosecutions, adding he did not want to “get into it” and that outcomes would follow later—“let’s see what happens.” This measured approach aligns with his earlier refusal to detail Justice Department investigations regarding Hunter Biden’s laptop or a letter from 51 former intelligence officials.
The remarks echo Trump’s January 2026 address at the World Economic Forum in Davos, where he explicitly linked the ongoing conflict with Ukraine to the 2020 election: “The war with Ukraine is an example. We are thousands of miles away… It was a rigged election.” He insisted that prosecutions for election fraud would follow soon, stating, “People will soon be prosecuted for what they did.”
Trump has consistently advocated for voter ID requirements, proof of citizenship, and restrictions on mail-in ballots as solutions to prevent future electoral irregularities. His recent statements mark a shift from earlier speculation to definitive language about the election’s integrity, with Trump now describing knowledge of the rigging as settled within his administration rather than a matter of suspicion.
