Ayres said he left the Capitol when Trump ultimately told rioters to leave on social media, and he likely would have done so sooner if Trump had posted the message sooner, adding that if he had done so, “maybe we wouldn't be in this bad of a situation.”"Yeah. I think everybody thought he was going to be coming down,” he replied.Trump tried to call committee witness, Cheney said
Trump asked his then-Attorney General William Barr to seize voting machines following his loss, Barr told the committee."My recollection is the president said something like, 'Well, we could get some people to say we can get to the bottom of this if the department seizes the machines,'" Barr said."And I said, 'Absolutely not, there's no probable cause.
“President Trump is a 76-year-old man. He is not an impressionable child. Just like everyone else in our country, he is responsible for his own actions and his own choices.”In recorded video testimony, former Secretary of Labor and the son of the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, Eugene Scalia, told the committee he advised Trump in mid-December that he should accept the rulings of courts and concede the election.
