Donald Trump said Friday night that he "lost" the 2020 election, before quickly saying he didn't lose because the contest was "rigged."
Trump, who is currently facing two criminal investigations -- one in D.C. and one in Georgia -- in connection with his behavior following his 2020 loss, spoke at a prayer summit Friday. Also in the speech, the former president lashed out at the special counsel for purportedly trying to take away the ex-president's Constitutional rights.
Trump also recapped what happened in 2020.
