Donald Trump allegedly crossed out strongly-worded language in a speech regarding the January 6 insurrection.
The Jan. 6 committee disclosed new testimony Thursday of an "irate" Donald Trump demanding to be taken to the Capitol as the mob laid siege.An original script for Donald Trump's speech the day after the Capitol insurrection included tough talk ordering the Justice Department to "ensure all lawbreakers are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law' and stating the rioters "do not represent me.
The committee is releasing the additional material in an effort to push out even more evidence after eight summer hearings laid out findings from more than 1,000 interviews in its yearlong investigation. Members of the committee say the investigation continues, and they will hold more hearings in the fall.
These lines also deleted: "I am directing the Department of Justice to ensure all lawbreakers are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. We must send a clear message - not with mercy but with JUSTICE. Legal consequences must be swift and firm."
