"No, I looked at the first part. It was really about voter fraud and the machines how crooked it is, how disgusting it is, Trump said. Then I gave it to the people, generally they'd look at the whole thing but I guess somebody didn't and they posted it. And then we deleted it."
"Besides Trump, only two aides have access to his social media account, people familiar with the matter said: Dan Scavino and Harp. Trump's advisers quickly discounted Scavino, given he has been preoccupied lately with his new role running the presidential personnel office and instead focused on Harp, who has previously been entangled in Trump's communications."
A brief clip was shared on Trump's Truth Social account that appeared in a video promoting 2020 election conspiracies and depicted Barack and Michelle Obama as cartoon apes. The post invoked racist tropes and was deleted after circulation. Trump told reporters he briefly viewed part of the video and then handed it to a staffer to post, saying he would not fire the staffer and would not apologize. Only two aides reportedly have access to his account: Dan Scavino and Natalie Harp, with advisers focusing scrutiny on Harp. The White House initially defended the post, then blamed a staffer and offered no further comment.
