“I Don’t Want to Say the Election Is Over”: Video Outtakes Show Trump Refused to Admit Loss
The January 6 committee aired never-before-seen outtakes of President Trump’s speech on January 7, one day after the insurrection. He is seen initially reading a script that read "this election is now over. Congress has certified the results." But Trump insisted on changing the script. "I don’t want to say the election is over," Trump says in the video. "I just want to say Congress has certified the results, without saying the election is over."
