Trump abruptly ends NPR interview after he is pressed on baseless election fraud claims

Former president Donald Trump abruptly ended an interview with NPR on Tuesday after he was pressed on his baseless claims of election fraud and repeated contention that the 2020 election was "rigged" against him.

Trump hung up on "Morning Edition" host Steve Inskeep nine minutes into what NPR said was scheduled to be a 15-minute interview that was broadcast Wednesday.

After several lines of questioning related to Trump's widely debunked election claims, Inskeep asked Trump if he would endorse only Republican candidates this year who are pressing his case that the 2020 contest against Joe Biden was stolen from him.
