Robert O'brien doesn't know his boss

Robert O’Brien, President Donald Trump’s national security adviser, said Wednesday that Trump would accept the results of the election if he loses on Nov. 3.

“If he loses the election, I’m certain the president will transfer power over, but we’ve got to make sure there’s no fraud in the election and we need to make sure it’s a free and fair election, just like we demand of other countries overseas, we need to make the demand of ourselves,” O’Brien added.

“What I believe is he should win. We’re a democracy, we’ll have to see what happens,” he said. “I’ve watched the rallies and people are pretty excited, but I’m not commenting from a political standpoint, but I think he has a lot of support out there and we’re certainly hoping for the best.”

Asked whether it was appropriate for Trump to have urged Attorney General William Barr to investigate Democratic opponent Joe Biden and his son Hunter, O’Brien declined to say but referred questions to Barr and Trump and said he didn’t know enough about the issue.

“I’m unaware of any pressure from the president,” he said.
