An email was sent to the Secret Service asking for confirmation that the then-president's protective detail kept him from attending his supporters at the Capitol.
In a wide-ranging interview at his Mar-a-Lago Club in Florida with Post reporter Josh Dawsey, Trump spoke about the Jan. 6 insurrection, repeated claims of a stolen election and weighed in on the possibility of a 2024 presidential campaign. Trump blamed Pelosi on at least a dozen occasions during their conversation.
I thought it was a shame, and I kept asking why she wasn't doing something about it. Why isn't Nancy Pelosi doing something about it? Nancy Pelosi is the mayor of D.C.
He defended his comments at the "Stop the Steal" after he invited his supporters to come to Washington on January 6. Many of Trump's supporters fought their way into the Capitol after the rally. Lawmakers, including Vice President Mike Pence, fled to safety after the riot left dozens of police officers injured.
The former president told the crowd that they were going to walk to the Capitol and he would be with them.
The House of Representatives impeached Trump after accusing him of inciting insurrection. At his rally, Trump told his supporters that he would never take back the country with weakness. We fight like hell if you don't show strength and be strong. You're not going to have a country if you don't fight.
In an interview with The Post on Wednesday, Trump said that he deserved more credit for drawing a large crowd to his rally outside the White House.
The crowd was much larger than I thought. I think it was the largest crowd I have ever spoken to. The fake news doesn't want to show pictures. This was a large crowd.
During the interview, Trump said that a Pennsylvania GOP Senate candidate was waiting outside to meet with the former president and get an endorsement. He said he would make a decision about a week from now.
I don't want to comment on running, but I think a lot of people are going to be very happy.
