Donald Trump responds to 845-page J6 report — but the committee has already dispelled his latest statement

Raw Story  

Former President Donald Trump likely hasn't read the 845-page report detailing the findings of the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on Congress and the attempt to overthrow the election, but it doesn't mean he is staying silent. At one point in his speech, Trump told the crowd, "our brave senators and congressmen and women, and we’re probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them.” The House Select Committee explained that "President Trump used the phrase scripted for him by his White House speechwriters, “peacefully and patriotically” once, about 20 minutes into his speech. So let’s walk down Pennsylvania Avenue.” House Republican Leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy called aide to chief of staff Mark Meadows, Cassidy Hutchinson, in the middle of Trump's speech to ask her, “Do you guys think you’re coming to my office” She swore that they weren't. “e all knew... that this was going to move to something else if he physically walked to the Capitol,” one White House employee told the committee, according to the report.
