Donald Trump joined the committee on Jan. 6 at the third public hearing, protesting to Truth Social that he did not order former Vice President Mike Pence to overthrow the 2020 election – directly disproving evidence from many witnesses without disputing the main issue. The bombing revealed a campaign of pressure from Trump and law professor John Eastman to persuade Pence to end the certification process in Congress on Jan. 6, 2021, and throw the decision in the Republican-led states. The former president was the keynote speaker at a conference on Friday, where he backed up baseless conspiracy theories about electoral fraud and attacked Democrats. He continued this Saturday morning with further posts calling the committee “political thugs”. The jury, meanwhile, asked Genie Thomas, the wife of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, to testify about texts and emails she sent to Mark Meadows and Mr. Eastman before the Capitol Uprising. The longtime right-wing activist said she would force it. Trump’s advisers say he is angry and unhappy watching the Jan. 6 hearings and is frustrated to see videos of his family members, such as Ivanka Trump and Jared Kouchner, being used against him, according to NYT reporter Hang Maan. .

Trump accuses Fox of “kissing the enemy’s ass” In a speech in Memphis, Tennessee on Saturday, Trump hit Fox News for keeping liberal comedian Bill Macher as a guest. Macher may have annoyed Trump last week by saying that Florida Gov. Ron de Sandis would become a better Republican president than Trump because “he’s not proven crazy, it’s great to get started.” He added: “Do you know what Ron DeSantis will not do? He will not tweet every day. It will not be, for example, quarrels with Bette Midler on Twitter. He is not crazy”. DeSantis is considered the most likely Republican to beat Trump in the 2024 candidacy, although neither has yet confirmed that he will be a candidate. Maher also said Trump should be prosecuted for his role in inciting the Capitol uprising with his false allegations of electoral fraud – allegations that Trump knew at the Jan. 6 hearing were unfounded. Maher said: “I mean, yes, if the guy robbed the liquor store, let’s see why he did it. “But he also has to be arrested because he robbed the liquor store.” However, Maher also defended an NFL coach who had been disciplined for calling the Capitol Uprising “dusty” and criticized the Washington Post – a regular target of Trump’s anger – for what he called a “self-provocative” Twitter drama involving public controversy. among journalists. Speaking in Memphis, Trump said: “He is a radical left-wing maniac with moderate television viewing. And as soon as he says something a little mediocre or restrained, Fox and others ask him to explain – “Look, Bill Macher, a leftist, Bill Macher says great things.” “They play directly into the hands of the enemy, it’s amazing. I’m sure he laughs like hell at how stupid he is. “They kiss the ass of the enemy. And in this case, his ass is not very beautiful “. Trump was a favorite on Fox News for most of his term, but dropped dramatically with the network when he became the first to call Arizona for Joe Biden during the 2020 election coverage.

And then he was obviously in the Oval Office with several other campaign advisers, including lawyers, who heard him swear at Mike Pence, who heard him get more and more angry with Mike Pence because Mike Pence would not do what he wanted. Donald Trump. , who was going to break the law “. Ivanka testified that she overheard her father in a “quite warm” telephone conversation with Pence. Others claim that Trump called his loyal vice president “evil” and “p *** y.” After the hearing, Trump denied that he called Pence crazy before saying that his vice president did not have enough courage to do what he was asked to do.
