He either knew or he was willfully/recklessly negligent in how he ran his campaign.

That's pure supposition at this point.

If you close your eyes so that you don't see what is going on, you are just as liable for that willful blindness as you would be if you had actual knowledge.

What evidence do you have of willful blindness? And also, that's not how the law works. What you know matters, so they aren't the same thing and you aren't just as liable.

by making unity and clean governance the centerpieces of his campaign he was promoting himself as a man of virtue, integrity, and competence

Was clean governance really a centerpiece of the campaign? I don't recall that.

Nonetheless, it's entirely possible that he didn't know what was going on and that he didn't know for honest reasons - like he trusted his staff. It doesn't require willful blindness to be fooled by people you trust (ask many a cheated on spouse).

But why don't you find me the exact lie he told (a quote), and we can work from that.
