It would have been the first time in American history that a defeated president would stand at the Capitol to fight for his re-election.
On that day, Trump was going to go there. His allies were planning for the president to deliver a speech outside the building or enter the House chamber in protest of the results of the 2020 election.
Giuliani told the young White House aide that he would look powerful.
The White House lawyers didn't think it was a good idea. If Trump joined the mob on Capitol Hill, he would be charged with every crime imaginable.
On January 6th, Trump didn't make it to the Capitol. As rioters lay siege to the building, his security refused to let him go.
Trump was angry and stuck at the White House.
Dramatic new insight about Trump's intentions is provided by the January 6 hearings, as he told his loyalists he would join them on a march down Pennsylvania Avenue to fight for his presidency. The account is based on the testimony of Cassidy Hutchinson. Her recollections from her close proximity to the president and his inner circle show that his demands were part of his last-ditch plan to stop Biden.
After Hutchinson's account was disputed by Trump and his allies, the former president conducted his own interview and called her a "clown".
The committee is going to look at Trump's actions and those of the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys in the upcoming week.

He was angry.
Trump wanted the crowd to be as large as possible. The supporters refused to join the main rally area because they didn't want their weapons taken away by the Secret Service.
The metal detectors that Trump ordered his security to get rid of were used to screen the armed supporters.
The police radios crackled with information, including a man in the trees with a rifle or another with a handgun at his waist, and three men walking on 14th Street.
Trump disagreed with Hutchinson's account. He told Newsmax that he didn't want guns.
She told the committee what she heard.
