36. Jan. 6 witnesses: Trump watched TV as rioters stormed Capitol

Wed Feb 5, 2025, 06:00 AM

Wednesday

My words: Listen to the hearing. There were eye witnesses. Also, many previous reports that the TV was always on and always on Fox News. There are likely many photos that verify this for those that want to check it out. Also, I believe there is testimony/reporting that his own daughter tried to get him away from the t.v. and make a statement. That should be enough evidence. Whether there is a video/photos or not doesn't change what happened.

'The Jan 6. committee described Trump's failure to act as rioters stormed the Capitol, instead watching the attack unfold on Fox News. '

And this: 'Multiple witnesses told the committee of attempts to persuade Trump to intervene and try to stop the violence, which he refused to do, instead watching the attack as it unfolded on television.
