'I just want to say Congress has certified the results without saying the election is over, OK?' Trump said during a video recording session on January 7, 2021.

Committee member Elaine Luria, a Democrat who represents Virginia's 2nd Congressional District, asked Daniel Pottinger, Trump's former deputy national security adviser, to comment on the refusal after the outtakes were played.
