Trump became 'detached from reality,' says ex-justice chief

Former US president Donald Trump prematurely and falsely declared victory on election night on November 4, 2020

Donald Trump deluged aides with wild voter fraud conspiracy theories after losing the 2020 US election, his top law-enforcement official said in testimony revealed Monday by a congressional probe which the ex-president branded a "mockery of justice."

Trump ignored repeated warnings from top aides against falsely claiming the November 2020 election was stolen, according to testimony unveiled by the panel.
