Trump Rejected Advice To Wait to Call the 2020 Race, Says Former Campaign Manager

Summary from the AllSides News Team

The House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot held its second public hearing Monday, featuring witness testimonies from several members of former President Donald Trump's inner circle.

In a video deposition to the committee, former Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien alleged that Trump ignored the advice of campaign experts to wait to call the 2020 presidential race until the mail-in ballots were counted.  Witnesses said Trump was instead guided by Rudy Guiliani on election night, who former Trump spokesperson Jason Miller said was "definitely intoxicated." BJay Pak, a former U.S. attorney for the North District of Georgia who resigned from his position during Trump’s efforts to find voter fraud in the state, said the Trump campaign's allegations about suitcases "full of ballots" in Georgia were false.

Left- and center-rated news sources continue to cover the hearings much more prominently than right-rated outlets. Some left-rated sources highlighted how former Attorney General William Barr said in his testimony that Trump was "detached from reality."
