Our economy is in the gutter. Inflation is rampant. Gas prices have reached all-time highs. Ships can not unload cargo. Families can not get the milk they need. “We are a disgrace to the world.” He also accused the Democrats of being preoccupied with the events of January 6 and of “failing to offer solutions” to the country’s problems. “Democrats desperately want to change the narrative of a failed nation, without mentioning the catastrophe and death caused by the Radical Left just months earlier,” he said. “Make no mistake, they are in control of the government. They own this catastrophe. They hope that these hearings will somehow change their failed prospects.” Use the Chrome browser for a more accessible video player 1:15 Dramatic shots from riots in the Capitol Much of the 12-page document was used to reiterate its baseless allegations that the 2020 presidential election was allegedly “falsified and stolen.” “Politicians from both parties, but especially Democrats, have worked with corporate elites to deprive Americans of our right to elect our leaders,” he said.

His aides worked to advise him on what to do next, but Mr. Trump chose to listen to Mr. Giuliani, who told him to declare victory. “My belief, my recommendation, was to say that the votes are still being counted, it is too early to say, it is too early to announce the race,” Mr Stepien said in a statement. Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kouchner, also tried to prevent him from listening to Giuliani, but he responded by saying he trusted the lawyer. “Deliberately misled his donors” The commission also heard that – after the election – a series of Mr. Trump’s calls for fundraising based on allegations of voter fraud raised $ 250 million (200 200 million).
