Former White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney told CNN that former President Trump’s recent comments on the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol “manifestly false.”
Said Mulvaney: “To come out and say that everybody was fine and there was no risk is just — that’s manifestly false. People died. Other people were severely injured. To say there was no risk is just wrong.”
