general bill barr and former president trump s daughter ivanka trump and disturbing footage of the violent attack that took place on the capitol, the committee made out exactly how the hearings will show that this was a culmination of an ateamed coup and they say the former president was at the absolute epicenter of it all. here is some of what we saw. donald trump, the president of the united states, spurred a mob of domestic enemies of the constitution, to march down the capitol and subvert american democracy. i made it cleardy not agree with the idea of saying the election was stolen and putting out this stuff which i told the president was bullshit. i respected attorney general barr so i accepted what he said and was saying. president trump assembled a mob, assembled a mob and lit the flame of this attack. president trump is wrong. i had no right to overturn the election. pat cipollone threatened to resign. i kind of took it up to whining to be honest with y
