Yesterday the House select committee voted to subpoena President Trump. Today he responds with an angry letter. The letter was sent to the committee Chairman Bennie Thompson.
Trump did not mention the subpoena, and instead railed at the committee; he said he was writing “to express our anger, disappointment, and complaint that with all of the hundreds of millions of dollars spent on what many consider to be a Charade and Witch Hunt.” He also attacked the committee for not looking into election fraud and appeared to defend the targets of the committee, who, he claimed were just acting “as concerned American Citizens, protesting the Fraud itself.”
The select committee is investing the January 6 Capitol riot, trying to determine the cause, the responsible party, and how to prevent something like that from happening again.
The former president also brought up crowd size in the letter, complete with an appendix of photos of the crowd, and assailed the committee in his first line in all capital letters: “THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION OF 2020 WAS RIGGED AND STOLEN!”
President Trump says that he asked for troops to be deployed to make sure everyone was safe and secure. He says his instinct told him it would be a large crowd and that safety measures needed to be put into place.
“As it turns out, it was indeed one of the largest crowds I have ever spoken [at] before, a very wide swath stretching all the way back to the Washington Monument,” he continued. “The massive size of this crowd, and its meaning, has never been a subject of your Committee, nor has it been discussed by the Fake News Media that absolutely refuses to acknowledge, in any way, shape or form, the magnitude of what was taking place.”
President Trump’s letter is 14 pages long and includes pictures. Good for President Trump for speaking his mind in a professional way when he doesn’t agree with someone.
