A former aide to President Donald Trump has revealed that he privately acknowledged his 2020 election defeat. Former White House Director of Strategic Communications Alyssa Farah Griffin opened up about her time with the former president during an appearance on <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/videos/politics/2022/06/19/trump-admission-2024-election-sotu-vpx.cnn" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNN's State of the Union</a> on Monday (June 20). Griffin exposed that Trump "blurted out" that he had lost to President Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election - of which he has always maintained that he was the rightful victor, despite there being <a href="https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-michael-pence-electoral-college-elections-health-2d9bd47a8bd3561682ac46c6b3873a10" target="_blank" rel="noopener">no evidence of widespread corruption</a> ever found. <img class="size-large wp-image-1263147418" src="https://img.vt.co/2022/03/Screenshot-2022-03-09-at-11.28.11-1024x707.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="707" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Enrique Shore / Alamy]] Grifin told CNN: "He admitted, he blurted out watching Joe Biden on TV, 'Can you believe I lost to this guy?'" "And he actually admitted in a press conference when he was speaking about coronavirus in a press briefing room, he actually slipped and kind of admitted that Joe Biden won," she added. [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/world_articles1/status/1538743703728181249]] Griffin's comments come as a committee investigating the January 6 Capitol riots is trying to establish whether or not Trump instigated the insurrection to try to keep a hold of the presidency, as well as learn whether or not Trump attempted to overturn the election results. The former aide went on to say: "I'm not of the mind that this is going to take down Donald Trump in a legal sort of way. But I do think it's going to inform the public about a man who lost and couldn't do what we've done for the entirety of our history, which is allow a peaceful transition of power." At the third Jan. 6 hearing, committee members heard how Trump turned his supporters against the then-Vice President Mike Pence. <img class="wp-image-1263159204 size-full" src="https://img.vt.co/2022/06/capitolriots.jpg" alt="" width="1535" height="800" />[[imagecaption|| Supporters of President Donald J.

Pete Aguilar - a member of the committee - said in the session last week that there was a mere "40 feet" between Pence and the rioters, and stressed that he faced a real danger that day. "Approximately 40 feet. That's all there was, 40 feet between the vice president and the mob," he said, adding: "Make no mistake about the fact that the vice president's life was in danger." The next public hearing is scheduled to begin Tuesday at 1:00PM. <h6>Featured Image Credit: The Photo Access / Alamy</h6>
