Donald Trump's former communications director Alyssa Farah said the ex-president previously admitted he lost the 2020 presidential election and said it's 'scary' his aides and allies were able to change his mind.
Farah told CNN in a Saturday interview 'honesty, I'm not sure' if Trump believes now that he legitimately lost the election to Joe Biden.
'I know he wants to protect his ego at all costs,' CNN anchor Pamela Brown said to Farah. 'But Trump has to know he lost because I remember at the time reporting, talking to folks in the White House saying, 'Yeah, he knows he lost, he's just coming around to it.''
'He knew,' Farah admitted. 'He told me shortly after that he knew he lost.'
She added: 'But then, you know, folks got around him, they got information in front of him and I think his mind genuinely might have been changed about that and that's scary because he did lose.'
'And the facts are out there and they've lost every court case, they've had countless times to prove any sort of fraud and haven't been able to. So it is actually kind of more scary that he believes it.'
Farah served as the White House director of strategic communications for eight months under Trump, serving in several other administration roles before that including as then-Vice President Mike Pence's press secretary for two years and the Pentagon press secretary for seven months before coming back to the White House.
