Trump Admits He Wanted to Go Back to Capitol

In a taped interview for Jonathan Karl’s book, Tired of Winning, Donald Trump said that if he had been allowed to go to the Capitol during the Jan. 6 insurrection, he would have been “very well received” by those trying to thwart the democratic process, the Daily Beast reports.

Said Trump: “I wanted to go back. I was thinking about going back during the problem to stop the problem, doing it myself. Secret Service didn’t like that idea too much. And I could’ve done that. And you know what? I would have been very well received.”
