Trump Clashes With PBS Reporter Over 2020 Election Claims
President Donald Trump had a tense exchange with Liz Landers, a reporter for PBS, outside the White House during a discussion about the 2020 presidential election.
The exchange began when Landers asked the president about recent investigative actions reportedly involving federal authorities reviewing election records in states including Arizona and Georgia. The inquiries are connected to ongoing disputes over the results of the 2020 election.
During the conversation, Trump repeated his longstanding claim that the election was “rigged.” Landers responded by referencing statements made in 2020 by then–Attorney General William Barr, who said the Justice Department had not found evidence of widespread voter fraud that would have changed the outcome of the election.
“You don’t think it was rigged?” Trump asked during the exchange. When Landers pressed him about evidence supporting the claim, Trump responded by calling her a “rotten reporter” before ending the conversation and walking away.
Barr’s statement in late 2020 concluded that federal investigators had not uncovered fraud on a scale that could have altered the election results. The findings were widely cited at the time by officials across multiple agencies.
The confrontation comes as legal and political debates over the 2020 election continue to surface in various investigations and court proceedings across the United States.
The White House has not issued additional comment on the exchange.
