Trump Knew Supporters Had Weapons On Jan. 6 But Didn't Care, Top Aide Testifies
Former President Donald Trump said he didn't "f-ing care" that supporters had weapons before the Capitol riot.

Former President Donald Trump knew his supporters were armed with weapons during the Jan 6, 2021, Capitol attack, but insisted they be allowed to watch him speak before the riot.

“I don’t f-ing care that they have weapons,” Trump said, according to testimony from a former top White House aide. “They’re not here to hurt me. Take the f-ing mags [metal detectors] away. Let my people in.”

The new explosive testimony came from former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson during a surprise hearing on Tuesday. Hutchinson recalled that Trump had been informed by Secret Service that his supporters had brought weapons to his rally shortly before the attack on the Capitol. Those weapons included bear spray, spears, guns and flagpoles used as weapons.

Trump, however, was apparently fixated on the crowd size and demanded more of his supporters be allowed to bypass metal detectors to watch him speak, Hutchinson testified.

Trumps ego was all that mattered. Trump did not care if others--Congresscritters may get hurt. Only he mattered and his crowd size!!
Congresscritters and Pence.

I'm hoping this may make a difference, but themes like "owning the libs," "us vs them" really seem to echo strongly with a lot of American voters and potential jurors.

Did Fox show this since it didn't interrupt their nighttime lineup?

Typical of him. :(
At the J6 rally(?) trumps speech "You have to fight like hell" and Rudy Giuliani's "Let's have a trial by combat" Nah, no violence meant they were a "Loving Crowd". Willful blindness and deliberate ignorance.

Oh, he cared. He wanted to be at the head of the parade.
@LordShadowfire "They wont hurt me"
