The video, which was played for the New York Times by someone who had access to it, was part of a treasure trove that director Alex Holder handed over to Parliament’s select committee to investigate the January 6, 2021 uprising in the Capitol. He recorded many hours of interviews with Mr. Trump, Vice President Mike Pence, some of Mr. Trump’s adult children, and his son-in-law, Jared Kouchner. Mr. Holder is expected to give an interview to the committee on Thursday. Neither Mr. Holder nor the commission has revealed the contents of the full treasure trove of videos, nor has it commented on whether it provides substantial new information about Mr. Trump’s efforts to reverse his election defeat. But the small part of what the Times saw was striking in that it shows Mrs. Trump using a different tone to describe her father’s efforts to overturn what he did in the section of her House committee statement that has been made public. so far. The interview for the documentary took place on December 10, 2020, said the person with access to the video. That was nine days after Attorney General William P. Barr made a public statement that there was no widespread fraud that affected the outcome of the election, a rare public rebuke to Mr. Trump’s allegations at the time.
The Issues of the Hearings of the Parliamentary Committee of January 6
In a recorded interview with the House committee, Ms. Trump said Mr. Barr’s comments “affected my perspective.” “I respect Attorney General Bar, so I accepted what he said,” he said. The committee may publish an additional video with its recorded testimony. People close to Mrs. Trump insisted that she had distanced herself from what was happening around her father at the time. These people said that after the announcement of the fight for Joseph R. Biden Jr., Mrs. Trump began to focus on closing her office and looking to a new life in Miami. However, in the video with the director, Mrs. Trump, describing her father’s gains in votes among the major demographic groups, had a different reaction when asked if she had “acceptance” of her father’s very clear position on the results and what happens. . » “I think, as the president said, every vote should be counted and heard, and he campaigned for the speechless,” Trump said. “And I think a lot of Americans are feeling very, very deprived right now, and they’re really questioning the sanctity of our election, and that’s not right, it’s not acceptable.” He continued, “And he has to take on this fight. “Look, you are fighting for what you love most and he loves this country and he loves the people of this country, and he wants to make sure that their voice will be heard, will be heard and will not be silent.” He said that “he will continue to fight until all legal remedies are exhausted and that is what he must do”. An aide to Ms. Trump did not respond to a request for comment. The director was linked to Mr. Kouchner by Jason Greenblatt, a former Trump lawyer and then White House envoy to the Middle East. The film was envisioned as a legacy work for Mr. Trump, according to two people who know how it came about.
