Trump Was Adamant About Going to Capitol

A retired Washington, DC, police officer who was part of Donald Trump’s motorcade on January 6, 2021, told CNN on that the then-President was adamant about going to the US Capitol as the riot unfolded.

Said Mark Robinson: “We’ve heard it several times while it was on the motorcade. I think during the speech, shortly thereafter, he had finished the speech, that the President was getting into the motorcade and he was upset. And he adamantly wanted to go to the Capitol.”

He added: “And even when we departed from the Ellipse it was repeated again. … It was a heated argument in the limo. And he wanted to definitely go to the Capitol.”
