Donald Trump: - He cancels the controversial press conference

Storming Congress in the United States It cost five people their lives. The president himself, Donald Trump, was accused of cheering his supporters on before the storm.

He was tried in the Supreme Court, but the Senate acquitted him.

Anniversary is approaching. January 6 is one year since the shocking attack, and a few weeks ago Trump announced a press conference on this very day.

At the same time, Trump claimed that the Congressional investigation into the events was politically motivated and said in an announcement that the House of Representatives should instead investigate the “rigged presidential election in 2020”.

“I’m going to have a press conference in Mar-a-Lago on January 6 to discuss all of this and more,” Trump said.

However, the night before Wednesday, Norwegian time, it was announced that the press conference had been cancelled.

In a statement issued by the Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, Trump explained that the cancellation came “in light of the biased and wholly dishonest congressional committee” that was set up to investigate the congressional storming. He also blames the media.

Trump warns that he will instead hold a plenary session on Saturday, January 15 in Arizona.

President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are also expected to commemorate what happened a year ago with a speech.

speech critic

Senate Republicans do not appear to support Trump’s original decision to speak on the anniversary. They worried that he was trying to drag their party into the election fraud controversy, writes Politico.

– I don’t think it’s a good idea. It depends on what he has to say. But early assumptions are that it would be an aggressive statement. “I don’t think that’s a good idea,” said Senator and Republican Shelley Moore Capito.

Senator and fellow party member Pat Toomey, one of the few Republicans to vote in favor of the conviction in the Supreme Court case, said the speech wasn’t a good idea, but added, “What should I do about it?”

Facts about storming Congress

Thousands of Donald Trump supporters gathered in Washington on January 6 last year to protest the election result and show their support for the president.
In their speech, Trump reiterated the undocumented allegations of widespread electoral fraud and encouraged attendees to stand against the Capitol Hill Capitol.
Demonstrators followed the call and then stormed the Senate, where senators were in the process of ratifying the election result.
An estimated 2,000 protesters entered the buildings where elected representatives hid and barricaded themselves before being evacuated.
One protester was shot dead by guards as she attempted to storm a fortified door, and a police officer later died of injuries sustained. Three others died in what police described as medical emergencies.
More than 50 police were injured in the clashes.
Simultaneously with the storming of the Capitol, Trump tweeted again that the elections had been stolen from him. He also posted a video in which he said he loved the protesters, but asked them to go home.
Just six hours after they were evacuated, members of Congress reconvened in the Senate and House of Representatives, where Vice President Mike Pence and Congress formally approved Biden’s election victory — after a long time of overtime.
More than 720 people have been charged so far after the storm. More than 100 of them have been arrested, and at least 25 are accused of terrorism. Nearly 70 have been convicted.
