In a statement posted on Truth Social, Trump called the commission investigating the US Capitol attack “political hacks.” “So the Unselect Committee of Policy HACKS refuses to play any of the many positive witnesses and statements, refuses to talk about massive electoral fraud and irregularities and decides to use a documentary from Fake News ABC to do spins only negative material. “Our country is in such problems!” He wrote. Trump had earlier defended the deadly US Capitol uprising, which saw thousands of his supporters invade the US headquarters in an attempt to stop Joe Biden from winning the election. “January 6 was not just a protest, it represented the biggest movement in our country’s history to make America great again,” he told the Truth Social platform. Jan. 6 Vice President Liz Cheney said the public would soon hear testimony from former Trump officials about the former president’s actions that day, including allegations that he expressed support for supporters who wanted to hang Mike. Pence. As thousands of Trump supporters stormed the US Capitol, shouting “Hang Mike Pence” was heard from angry crowds, Ms. Cheney said the then president told advisers his vice president “deserved it.” “You will hear President Trump shouting. “He was really angry with the advisers who told him he had to do something more,” he told the committee at its first public hearing. “And knowing the voices of the troublemaker to hang Mike Pence, the president responded with this feeling: ‘Maybe our supporters have the right idea. “Mike Pence deserves it.” Other Republicans joined Trump in criticizing the hearings. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy wrote on Twitter as they began: “As Democrats in Washington abuse their power to attack their political opponents, they are unaware of America’s criminal crisis.” Elise Stefanik, a GOP MP from New York, said: “Voters are asking me about the historic gas prices, the skyrocketing inflation and the lack of milk for babies. Why aren’t Democrats listening to these crises affecting the American people? “Because the Democrats are only interested in their party witch-hunt.” However, there have been some departures from the chorus. Mick Mulvaney, Trump’s former acting chief of staff, called the videos “condemnatory.” “My account: the crucial thing tonight was the video. Because no matter how biased the committee is – and it absolutely is – you can not say the same about the video.” “The video was unusually convincing for the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers. Of course, many of them have been (rightly) charged with crimes. The key will be whether their activity can be linked to anyone in the White House. We have not seen anything. for this still “.
