Donald Trump was not happy with the Jan. 6 committee’s first hearing on Thursday night. The former president took to Truth Social to air his grievances.
Ivanka Trump, in pre-taped testimony the committee showed during the hearing, said that she “accepted what [Barr] was saying” about the election. Airing Ivanka’s apparent acknowledgment that the election was legitimate was part of the committee’s effort to discredit the argument that Trump for some reason didn’t know he lost the election. Trump, naturally, pushed back on this implication, as well. Ivanka “was not involved at, or studying, Election results,” Trump wrote.
Trump didn’t address how his own campaign lawyer testified that there was no evidence of widespread fraud. Regarding the overarching theme of the hearing, that Trump was a would-be autocrat carrying out a seven-part conspiracy to stay in power with the help of his supporters, Trump tried to deflect from his role in inciting
that day. “The so-called ‘Rush on the Capitol’ was not caused by me, it was caused by a Rigged and Stolen Election!” Trump claimed, falsely.
