But that revisionist history conflicts with the timeline of events on the day of the Capitol riot, as well as accounts of multiple people in contact with the president that day, who have said Trump was initially pleased to see a halt in the counting of the electoral college votes. Some former White House officials have acknowledged that he only belatedly and reluctantly issued calls for peace, after first ignoring public and private entreaties to do so.
His lawyers are lying. There are some aides that said that Trump didn’t want to add the “peacefully” bits to his admonitions. He actually wanted the violence. Hard to prove that.
