Last night, the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol attack detailed Trump’s “complete dereliction of duty” as he ignored pleas to condemn the violence and call off the mob from his White House Counsel, top aides and members of his own family.
At 1:49 p.m. ET, just as D.C. police were declaring a riot at the Capitol, Trump tweeted out a video of his speech at the Ellipse earlier that day and did not comment on the violence.
“I remember [Cipollone] saying something to the effect of, ‘Mark we need to do something more. They’re literally calling for the vice president to be effing hung.’ The committee shared a draft of his remarks, which read: “I’m asking for you to leave the Capitol region now and go home in a peaceful way.”
Matt Pottinger, former deputy national security adviser, and Sarah Matthews, former White House deputy press secretary, are sworn in as the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol holds a hearing on Thursday. Matthews said White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany told her “in a hushed tone” that Trump “did not want to include any sort of mention of peace in that tweet.”
The panel described one of Trump’s final interactions on Jan. 6, as he departed the White House dining room at 6:27 p.m. ET to go to the residence.
