Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo gave Trump his first TV interview since the election

(CNN) — President Donald Trump on Sunday spoke with Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo — his first TV interview since the election.
Bartiromo opened the interview with a question about election fraud, telling Trump, “The facts are on your side.” Trump responded by saying, “This election was a fraud; it was a rigged election.” The Fox anchor then reflected the president’s anger, saying, “This is disgusting and we cannot allow America’s election to be corrupted.”
“We had glitches where they moved thousands of votes from my account to Biden’s account,” Trump told Bartiromo as he continued to bash mail-in voting and said “dead people were applying to get a ballot.”
The interview highlighted that Trump is “unable or unwilling to accept reality,” CNN’s Chief Media Correspondent Brian Stelter said on “Reliable Sources” Sunday.
On Thursday, Trump said the Nov. 3 election was still far from over. Yet he offered the clearest signal to date that he would leave the White House peaceably on Jan. 20 if the Electoral College formalizes Biden’s win.
“Certainly I will. But you know that,” Trump said at the White House, taking questions from reporters for the first time since Election Day.
Sunday’s interview came after a long streak of silence for Trump. People who work closely with the president have avoided answering questions about the election.
