A document for a Jan. 7, 2021, Trump speech, titled 'Remarks on National Healing,' shows several key phrases crossed out that would have more strongly denounced the siege. It also shows suggested edits for added words.
the Trump speech retained its portions referring to the siege as a"heinous attack" and a false claim by Trump that he"immediately" deployed military help to the siege.
Larger edits show these sentences struck from the speech excerpt shared by the panel:"I am directing the Department of Justice to ensure all lawbreakers are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. We must send a clear message — not with mercy but with JUSTICE. Legal consequences must be swift and firm."
Witnesses told the panel Trump's Jan. 7th video was meant to be more forceful than the Jan. 6th video Son-in-law and also ex-White House senior adviser Jared Kushner said in his filmed committee interview that he and others brainstormed for new remarks to be given that following day.Cassidy Hutchinson, former top aide to then-Trump Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, said plans for the Jan. 7 speech were fueled in a large part over a concern the 25th Amendment could potentially be invoked to force Trump out.
