Trump didn’t stick to script asking supporters to leave Capitol, Jan. 6 panel says

LA Times  

Footage of President Trump addressing rioters in a video from the Rose Garden on Jan. 6, 2021, plays above members of the House committee investigating the attack on the Capitol. Then-President Trump did not stick to a video script laid out for him after he was urged by officials to ask supporters to peacefully leave the Capitol on Jan. 6, the House committee said during Thursday’s hearing. According to the committee, the original script for his speech stated: “I am asking you to leave the Capitol Hill region NOW and go home in a peaceful way.” Trump did not recite that line, instead affirming that protesters were “special” and loved and began his video with repeated claims that the election was stolen. Nicholas Luna, former assistant to the president, said in video testimony that Trump’s words were “off the cuff.” Witness Sarah Matthews, a former deputy press secretary in the Trump administration, said that the video was “disturbing.” After viewing it, she says she made her decision to resign and called her loved ones to let them know. After Trump released his video, people in the White House felt like the day was “over,” said Eric Herschmann, former White House counsel, in his recorded deposition.
