After his daughter Ivanka appeared to concur with other former White House employees that the former president had lost the 2020 election, Donald Trump rebuked her.
Donald Trump has reprimanded his daughter and former White House adviser Ivanka after she refuted the former president’s allegation of election fraud in 2020.
Mr. Trump asserted that his daughter had “long since checked out” from examining election results.
The remarks were made following a hearing on January 6, 2021, which examined the revolt on Capitol Hill.
The House committee probing the attack played a video of former US Attorney General Bill Barr, who referred to election fraud charges as “bulls**t” and stated there was no evidence to support them.
His argument appeared to have convinced the daughter of Mr. Trump.
“I have regard for Attorney General Barr. Therefore, I accepted what he stated “Ivanka Trump said in her videotaped statement.
In a social media comment, Mr. Trump looked dismissive of his daughter’s findings.
“Ivanka Trump was not involved in reviewing or analyzing election results,” he said on Truth Social, a platform he helped establish after being banned from Twitter.
She was, in my opinion, merely attempting to be courteous to Bill Barr and his position as Attorney General (he sucked!). She had long ago checked out.
Mr. Trump also criticized Mr. Barr, describing him as a “weak and fearful Attorney General who was constantly ‘played’ and intimidated by the Democrats and was terrified of being impeached.”
Mr. Trump continued by saying: “How do you avoid impeachment? Do nothing or say nothing, especially regarding the blatantly RIGGED & STOLEN Election, or, in other words, THE CRIME OF THE CENTURY!”
There is no evidence to substantiate Mr. Trump’s bogus assertion that Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 election was tainted by fraud or other anomalies.
Numerous courts, state election officials, and members of his administration all rejected his allegation.
The committee has spent months investigating the uprising that occurred last year when Mr. Trump’s supporters stormed Capitol Hill as Mr. Biden’s election was being recognized.
On Thursday, during the beginning of six days of public hearings before a House of Representatives select committee, it was stated that Mr. Trump had organized a “vast, multi-step plot to overturn the presidential election” and that the rebellion was the end of this “attempted coup.”
The panel presented a 12-minute, never-before-seen graphic footage of the uprising.
Other prominent Trump administration players, including Ivanka Trump’s husband Jared Kushner, Vice President Mike Pence and his chief of staff, and General Mark Milley, made public statements at the hearing.
