On asking for and receiving campaign assistance from a foreign power:

"If somebody called from a country... 'we have information on your opponent' - I think I'd want to hear it. It's not an interference, they have information, I think I'd take it. If I thought there was something wrong I'd go, maybe, to the FBI - if I thought there was something wrong."
June 12, 2019: Interview with George Stephanopolis of ABC News.

On the Ukraine Conspiracy Theory:
"I would like you to do us a favor though because our country has been through a lot and Ukraine knows a lot about it. I would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation with Ukraine, they say Crowdstrike. I guess you have one of your wealthy people... The server, they say Ukraine has it."
July 25, 2019: Phone call with Ukraine President Volodymr Zelensky.

Later on during the same conversation...
"The other thing, There's a lot of talk about Biden's son, that Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great. Biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution so if you can look into it... It sounds horrible to me."

"Rudy was one of many people that was incensed at the corruption that took place during that election. Pure corruption. For instance, I still ask the FBI, 'Where is the server?' How come the FBI never got the server from the DNC? Where is the server? I want to see the server. Let's see what's on the server. The server, they say, is held by a company whose primary ownership individual is from Ukraine. I'd like to see the server. I think it's very important for this country to see the server. Nobody wants to see it."

On the Coronavirus Pandemic:

"Now, the virus that we're talking about having to do - you know, a lot of people think that goes away in April with the heat - as the heat comes in. Typically, that will go away in April. We're in great shape though. We have 12 cases - 11 cases, and many of them are in good shape now."
February 10, 2020: National Governor's meeting at the White House.

"You have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, that's a pretty good job we've done."

"So, supposing we hit the body with a tremendous - whether it's ultraviolet or just very powerful light - and I think you said that that hasn't been checked, but you're going to test it. And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way, and I think you said you're going to test that, too. It sounds interesting. And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning. Because you see it gets in the lungs, and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it would be interesting to check that."
April 23, 2020: Coronavirus Task Force meeting.

The Coronavirus Task Force was phased out in May of 2020. More than 100,000 Covid-19 deaths had been documented by this time.

On the coordinated attempt to overturn the 2020 Presidential election:
"The people of Georgia are angry - the people in the country are angry, and there's nothing wrong with saying, you know, um, that you've recalculated... All I want to do is this, I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have. Because we won the state."
January 2, 2021: Part of phone conversation with Georgia Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger.

Speech on January 6, 2021 from the Ellipse near the White House:
"Our country has had enough. We will not take it anymore and that's what this is all about. And to use a favorite term that all of you people really came up with: We will stop the steal. Today I will lay out just some of the evidence proving that we won this election and we won it by a landslide. This was not a close election."

"And by the way, does anybody believe that Joe had 80 million votes? Does anybody believe that? He had 80 million computer votes. It's a disgrace."

"I hope Mike is going to do the right thing. I hope so. I hope so. Because if Mike Pence does the right thing, we win the election."

"States want to revote. The states got defrauded, They were given false information. They voted on it. Now they want to recertify. They want it back. All Vice President Pence has to do is send it back to the states to recertify and we become president and you are the happiest people."

"Now, it is up to Congress to confront this egregious assault on our democracy. And after this, we're going to walk down, and I'll be there with you, we're going to walk down, we're going to walk down. Anyone you want, but I think right here, we're going to walk down to the Capitol, and we're going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women, and we're probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them. Because you'll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength and you have to be strong."

"And we fight like hell. And if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore."

Later that same day:
"Go home. We love you, you're very special."
Part of pre-taped video to supporters who stormed the capitol building.

"These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever!"
Twitter message to supporters.

And now this:
"If I run and if I win, we will treat those people from January 6 fairly. We will treat them fairly. And if it requires pardons, we will give them pardons because they are being treated so unfairly."

"If the Vice President had "absolutely no right" to change the Presidential Election results in the Senate, despite fraud and many other irregularities, how come the Democrats and RINO Republicans, like Wacky Susan Collins, are desperately trying to pass legislation that will not allow the Vice President to change the results of the election? Actually, what they are saying, is that Mike Pence did have the right to change the outcome, and they now want to take that right away. Unfortunately, he didn't exercise that power, he could have overturned the Election!"
January 29, 2022: Statements made during rally in Conroe, Texas.

This claim, that the Vice President has the authority to overturn certified electoral counts is not true.
