Trump releases statement admitting his scheme to overturn the 2020 election
As the Jan. 6 select committee presented damning evidence of Donald Trump allowing his violent coup attempt to continue for 187 minutes, Donald Trump basically admitted to seditious conspiracy on his Truth Social website.
In his statement, Trump admitted he wanted Vice President Mike Pence to reject the valid electors in multiple states in violation of the Constitution.
And then he went on to admit the goal was to overturn the 2020 presidential election, which was won by Joe Biden.
"This may have proven to be an election-changing event," Trump admitted before attacking Biden.
"What a difference it would have made if state legislatures had another crack at looking at all of the fraud, abuse, and irregularities that have been found," Trump said, even though all his delusions had been thoroughly debunked and laughed out of court by Jan. 6.
As Trump issued his Truth Social statement, the select committee was hearing testimony about his refusal to issue an adequate statement on Jan. 6.
Throughout the attack, Mark Meadows received texts from Republican Members of Congress, current and former Trump administration officials, media personalities, and friends.
Like President Trump’s staff, they knew President Trump had to speak publicly to get the mob to stop.
Trump in a statement posted on his Truth Social suggests inflation and the war in Ukraine would not have happened if the election had gone his way. He posted this as the Jan. 6 prime-time hearing airs:
So many fall for the BS, right? It's sick and kinda amazing how the ones who yell "fake news" are the ones spreading lies, how the corruption lives on, a lot of it accomplished through social media brainwashing
I love the bit about withdrawal from Afghanistan! If Trump's order to the military to withdraw had stayed in place instead of being supplanted by Biden's identical order, everything would have been different! RIIIIIIIGHT
The only difference would have been that Trump would have blamed the Pentagon where Biden accepted responsibility.
