President Trump stated in a recent Pod Force One interview with Miranda Devine that the 2020 U.S. Presidential election was rigged and his administration now knows exactly who responsible. Speaking directly to Devine, Trump declared: “The election was rigged. We know who rigged the election.” He further asserted: “We know everything now.”
The White House-recorded interview occurred after Devine raised concerns about Hunter Biden’s laptop and a letter from 51 former intelligence officials who dismissed it. When pressed on potential prosecutions, Trump declined to name specific individuals, stating he did not want to “get into it” and added: “Let’s see what happens.”
Trump’s remarks align with his longstanding position on election integrity, consistently advocating for voter ID requirements, proof of citizenship, and the elimination of mass mail-in ballots. This stance was previously emphasized during his January 2026 address at the World Economic Forum in Davos, where he stated: “The war with Ukraine is an example. We are thousands of miles away… It’s a war that should have never started, and it wouldn’t have started if the 2020 U.S. Presidential election weren’t rigged.” He repeated this assertion multiple times in subsequent public statements, framing the rigging as settled knowledge within his administration.
The President clarified that while he does not currently disclose names of those responsible for the alleged rigging, he has positioned the issue as a matter of internal White House certainty rather than speculation. His language evolved from “everybody now knows” to “we know everything now,” reflecting a shift toward definitive accountability without specifying timelines or individuals.
