The former president seems to have closely followed the hearing and reacted at night with a series of messages on the Truth Social network, which he launched as an alternative to Twitter when access to this platform was prohibited.
The Republican, who plans to run for president in 2024, denounced the “lies” of this “corrupt and very partisan” committee.
In particular, he wondered why the group of congressmen did not ask the Secret Service to confirm statements by a former White House employee according to which Trump tried to take the steering wheel from an officer’s limousine to try to join the protesters on January 6. .
“Because they know the answer and they don’t like it. A trashy court!”he protested.
The 2020 presidential elections were “rigged” and “stole from me and our country,” he repeated, despite the fact that the courts dismissed his multiple legal appeals that supposedly would prove fraud.
“America is going to hell. Am I supposed to be happy?” she wondered.
He also attacked one of his main rivals, Liz Cheney, the only Republican on the committee along with Adam Kinzinger, whom he called a “prudish failure.”
On Thursday night, commission members completed a series of high-profile hearings spending two and a half hours on January 6, 2021, recounting how Donald Trump experienced it “minute by minute.”
They reproached him for having followed the violence of his followers for three hours without reacting, “violating his duty as commander in chief.”
The protesters sought to prevent the victory of Trump’s Democratic rival, Joe Biden, from being certified in the 2020 presidential election.
