On the 13th (local time), Peter Navarro, Director of the White House Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy, said in an interview with Fox News, "The White House is moving forward on the assumption that President Trump will have a second term."


He claimed that although President Trump was clearly ahead on election day, being caught up in key battleground states was due to election fraud and a "complete sham."


Navarro also stated, "Our assumption is a second term for President Trump," and reiterated, "We believe he won the election."



Earlier, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo stirred controversy by making similar remarks at a press conference on the 10th. When asked about the transition to President-elect Joe Biden's team, Pompeo said, "There will be a smooth transition to a second Trump administration."
