Jan. 6 riot was fueled by Trump’s ‘lies’ about 2020, special counsel says | ABC News



Shortly after a third indictment was unveiled against former Pres. Trump, special counsel Jack Smith said that the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol was “an unprecedented assault on the seat of American democracy” that was “fueled by lies” from the former president about the 2020 election.

Trump has been ordered to appear on Thursday in federal court in Washington, D.C.

  1. Give me a break trump 2024

  2. Sad…ABC doctored Pres Trump's actual words & Jack Smith's voice was shaking when he spoke in court. He finally realized he has to PROVE there were NO IRREGULARITIES during the 2020 election… something Democrats have claimed was true for YEARS.โค๏ธ๐Ÿ™&

  3. Donald Trump needs to go to prison and be locked up for life.

  4. YES ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธsTRUMP ๐Ÿ‘

  5. What on earth caused this significant delaying in the indictment of the man who incited a riot, lead to the deaths of civilians and deaths of police officers?

    Trump should have been arrested, charged, convicted and imprisioned before he began his fake presidential campaign. His fake campaign is to fool Americans and dupe them into paying his legal bills and support his claim that he is being attacked to keep him from running for president. While nothing has stopped him from running for president.

    When Americans wake up, they will demand a full refund of the $40 million he used to pay legal bills for crimes he committed against each of us.

    Donald J Trump is unfit for office and should never hold political office in this country, again.

    WAKE UP!

    Stop giving that man your hard earned money.
