President Donald Trump’s national security adviser, Robert O'Brien, said on Oct. 21 that Trump will accept the result of the election in the event of a loss, adding a caveat uttered by other administration officials that the election must be “free and fair.”

“If he loses the election, I’m certain the president will transfer power over,“ O'Brien told Politico in an interview. ”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.”
