The House select committee investigating the insurrection has in its possession video outtakes of then-President Donald Trump’s message to his supporters on January 7, 2021, the day after the riot at the US Capitol.
The outtakes, first reported by The Washington Post, were part of production of a speech Trump gave the night after the riot.
The panel is expected to show clips of the outtakes during its prime-time hearing Thursday, according to sources familiar with the committee’s plans. The outtakes show Trump having a difficult time working through the effort to tape the message. Trump refused to say the election results had been settled and attempted to call the rioters patriots. He also went to great lengths to not accuse them of any wrongdoing. #donlemontonight #january6 #CNN
