Thursday’s primetime hearing of the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol shined an unflattering light on then-President Donald Trump’s reaction to the violent riot waged by his supporters.
Truth Social. But the select committee swiftly knocked down the claim, showing clips from interviews with multiple former White House staffers, including former White House counsel Pat Cipollone and Gen. Kieth Kellogg, who served as national security adviser to Vice President Mike Pence. Both stated definitively that they were not aware of Trump issuing orders to send the National Guard or any other law enforcement personnel to the Capitol on Jan. 6.
A video of retired Washington Metropolitan Police Department Sgt. Mark Robinson being interviewed is played as the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol holds a hearing at the Capitol in Washington, Thursday, July 21, 2022. Some of the starkest examples of this were video and audio clips showing how members of the mob reacted in real time to tweets Trump sent that day, demonstrating, as Matthews said, “the impact that his words have on his supporters.”
“He didn’t say not to do anything to the congressmen,” a person on the recording is heard saying in response to Trump’s tweet. “He didn't ask them to stand down.” Even after Trump finally gave in to his allies' pleas to call off the mob and condemn the violence at the Capitol, he struggled to stick to the scripts staffers had written for him to read on camera. The committee played never-before-seen outtakes from two video messages — one filmed on Jan. 6 in the Rose Garden and a second shot on Jan. 7 in the White House.
The committee played chilling testimony from an anonymous White House security official who described hearingfrom members of Vice President Mike Pence’s Secret Service detail while the Capitol was under siege, before Pence and his family had been moved to a secure location.
