“If you do not fight like hell, you will no longer have any land,” was the cash message Donald Trump had to his supporters on the fateful day of January 6.
Shortly afterwards, he asked the huge crowd, which consisted of thousands of people, to march down Pennsylvania Avenue, where the United States’ iconic Legislative Assembly – Congress – is located.
The rest is, as they say, history.

New information
In the increasingly rich chapter on what the former president of the United States did while the Congress was under siege and his colleagues in the country’s supreme legislative assembly fled for their lives, even more information has come this week.
ABC News journalist Jonathan Karl has written the book “Betrayal: The Final Act of the Trump Show”, which is about to be published.
Timeline: This happened
Karl has shared a number of excerpts from the book with his employer ABC News, which now discusses a number of hitherto unknown information. One of these pieces of information comes from a number of unnamed sources in or around Donald Trump’s closest circle, and has caused headlines.
It is already known that Trump watched the siege of Congress on television. Now Karl claims to be able to reveal that one aspect of the TV pictures in particular must have pleased him.

– Boasted of the turnout
While large parts of the world watched in horror as one of the world’s most iconic buildings was besieged by fanatical Trump supporters, led to believe that the presidential election was stolen from Trump and thus them, Trump must have been concerned about the size of the audience.
From his private White House television station, Trump is said to have boasted about how many of his supporters had followed his call to march toward Congress.
During the same time period, Trump received several phone calls from terrified Republican colleagues, including Kevin McCarthy, one of Trump’s biggest supporters in Congress.
On the phone, he is said to have directly begged Trump to ask his supporters to withdraw, Karl writes in his book.

«The big lie»
To this day, Trump continues to claim that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from him. He claims that the election result which states that Joe Biden, not he, won the election, is falsified and that there were large amounts of election fraud.
As of now, Trump has not presented any documentation that supports these allegations.
That the presidential election in 2020 was stolen from Trump is known in the United States as “the big lie”.
– The right thing to do
In the aftermath of the January 6 congressional attack and until Joe Biden was sworn in as the 46th President of the United States on January 20, Washington DC was unrecognizable.
Nearly 30,000 soldiers from the National Guard, the US home defense, were stationed in the country’s capital. On almost every street corner in downtown Washington DC, armed soldiers stood guard.
A number of roadblocks blocked blocks after blocks from the public, and in order to reach a number of iconic landmarks in the American capital, several security checkpoints had to be passed.
