Trump Claims He Didn’t See Rioters on TV

“Donald Trump denied knowing at the time the January 6 attack on the US Capitol started that a mob of his supporters – whom he privately called ‘fucking crazy’ – were rioting, the author of a forthcoming book on his chaotic presidency writes in what may stand as one of the most surprising, non-believable postscripts of his tenure in the Oval Office,” The Guardian reports.

Said Trump: “I didn’t usually have the television on. I’d have it on if there was something. I then later turned it on and I saw what was happening.”

He added: “I had heard that afterward and actually on the late side. I was having meetings. I was also with Mark Meadows and others. I was not watching television.”
