After showing a clip of that statement, Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., laid out the committee’s case that Trump knew full well that it was too early to make such a declaration and had plotted to deliver it whatever the final results showed. “In the course of our investigation, we also interviewed Brad Parscale, President Trump's former campaign manager. He told us he understood that President Trump planned as early as July that he would say he won the election even if he lost,” Lofgren said.The committee also showed video of former Trump White House chief strategist Steve Bannon boasting a few days prior to the election to a group of associates from China.
