Jan. 6 witnesses push Trump stalwarts back to rabbit hole

By DAVID KLEPPER
One by one, several of Donald Trumps former top advisers have told a special House committee investigating his role in the Jan. 6 insurrection that they didnt believe his lies about the 2020 election, and that the former president knew he lost to Joe Biden.
But instead of convincing Trumps most stalwart supporters, testimony from former attorney general Bill Barr and Trumps daughter Ivanka about the election and the attack on the U.S. Capitol is prompting many of them to simply reassert their views that the former president was correct in his false claim of victory.
Barrs testimony that Trump was repeatedly told there was no election fraud? He was paid off by a voting machine company, according to one false claim that went viral this week. Ivanka Trump saying she didnt believe Trump either? Its all part of Trumps grand plan to confuse his enemies and save America.
The claims again demonstrate how deeply rooted Trumps false narrative about the election has become.
