WASHINGTON (AP) — It would have been something never quite before seen in America — a defeated president, Donald Trump, standing at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, with a mob of supporters, some armed, contesting the election outcome.
Trump intended to go there that day. His allies had been planning for the moment, envisioning the president delivering a speech outside the building or even entering the House chamber amid objections to Congress certifying the 2020 election results for Democrat Joe Biden.
“He’s going to look powerful,” mused Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani to a young White House aide four days earlier.
But White House lawyers thought it was a “terrible” idea. Counsel Pat Cipollone warned that Trump could be charged with “every crime imaginable” if he joined mob on Capitol Hill trying to interfere with the certification.
In the end, Trump never made it to the Capitol on Jan. 6. His security refused to take him as rioters, some with weapons, laid siege to the building.
Furious, and stuck at the White House, Trump watched the insurrection on television.
This coming week, the committee is set to focus on Trump’s own actions and those of the extremist Oath Keepers and Proud Boys in allegedly leading the Capitol attack.

Did the writer of this crap attempt to explain how Trump’s request for 10k more national guard for DC on the 2nd, turned down by Pelosi, fitted in with his plan?
Assuming this is true, Trump could still have called up the National Guard. He controls it, Pelosi doesn't.
No matter what they do, the Democrats can’t hide their runaway inflation, out of control gas prices, and food shortages.
Well, I suppose it would have been, but the truth is, it didn't happen.
The spear disguised as an American flag?
Lisa dear....the ones with the WEAPONS were ANTIFA, BLM and the FBI!
I guess you can interpret the facts any way suits you.
Gateway Pundit says the October surprise will be Trump’s arrest for the “insurrection”.
Sniff sniff smells like ASS💩 press.
Here you go😁:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TH2MXxoQTLY
This is just made up phantasy porn for liberals.
I have seen photo shopped pictures by the dishonest media making it look as though the Capitol was on fire.
It would have been something never quite before seen in America — a defeated president, Donald Trump, standing at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, with a mob of supporters, some armed, contesting the election outcome.Ah, but our intrepid reporter somehow misses out on what could have been Trump's true Jan 6 "coda," blowing up the RNC and DNC buildings.
Note how this article repeatedly says the “rioters” had “weapons.”
Fake news.
Who, exactly, planted the pipe bombs that were supposed to have been found around the capitol?
If these persons existed, shouldn’t they be well known by now?
The same for the persons that they claim had weapons. They insinuate that people had firearms but no one was shot except the patriot Ashli Babbitt.
“rioters, some with weapons, laid siege to the building.”
As I understand 678 people were arrested and only 3 arrests were related to guns brought into the Capitol. There were a few other gun charges for people outside the Capitol.
The writer calls that a siege. :-)
I meant a coup d’état!!!
I meant a coup d’état.
Trump would not endorse such a thing, even if in this case it was a reversal of an actual coup d’état.
