New images shared by a House Jan 6 Committee show the crossed-out sections of Trump’s National Healing speech he delivered on Jan 7.
- Trump DELETED criticism of Capitol rioters.
- He refused to say that he was ‘sickened ‘ by the Capitol attack.
- Trump crossed out the passage where he was supposed to say the rioters didn’t represent him
- Once again, he refused to say he lost the election.
‘I don’t want to say the election is over,’ Trump says in one of the clips. ‘I just want to say Congress has certified the results without saying the election is over.’
Trump was finally pressured into giving the speech only after his aides told him that ‘there’s a large concern of the 25th Amendment being invoked.’
‘You need this as cover,’ was the explanation Cassidy Hutchinson heard that pushed Trump into delivering the speech.
