The former president reacted that night, denouncing a parody of justice in a 12-page statement in which he even reiterated his false allegations of fraud regarding the 2020 election.
This comedy […] is a reckless attempt to divert the public’s attention from the truth […] that Americans heavily went to Washington on January 6, 2021 to hold their elected officials accountable for clear signs of criminal activity in the electionDonald Trump wrote this document despite countless evidence to the contrary.
