Former President Donald Trump called January 6, the day of the Capitol riot, “a very beautiful time” in a March interview with ABC News correspondent Jonathan Karl, according to Karl’s forthcoming book, Insider reports.
Trump also insisted that “the fake news” didn’t report on the large size of the crowd on the National Mall: “When I made that speech, it was a magnificently beautiful day. They never gave the credit to the size of the crowd when the crowd went all the way back to the Washington Monument.”
