At a White House briefing, a reporter asked Donald Trump whether he believes the election was rigged and whether he watched Thomas Massie lay out articles of impeachment against Pete Hegseth. Trump never answered the rigged-election question. He said he doesn't watch Massie, called him a loser who shouldn't be "taking up the time of Congress," and said he challenged Massie, who he says "lost in a landslide."

Do you believe that the election was rigged? And separately, did you watch Senator Thomas Massey lay out his articles of impeachment this afternoon? No, I don't watch Massey. Look, Massey is a loser. He shouldn't be taking up the time of Congress or the Senate or anything that he's doing. You guys are a stone -called loser. What always is the Republican, always he would vote against. You just, we could come up with the best bill. We could come up with, and he would always vote against. There's something wrong with him. And I said, look, I've got to challenge him. And I challenged him, and he lost in a landslide to a very good man.
