Greg Miller:

Yes, that's right. I mean, and we're all very aware, as you point out, of Trump's hostility to this idea, his rejection of this case publicly, but even behind the scenes, right, we did interviews with aides who even in the weeks leading up to his inauguration, were pleading with him, staged what amounted to impromptu interventions with him in his office at Trump Tower, trying to persuade him, just accept this, boss, just so we can get past it. If you can't say this publicly and get it behind us, this is going to continue to follow us and impede your ability to do what you want to do as president.

And even then, he just gets agitated and denies it, and strikes out, lashes out at the intelligence and insists that it's not real.
