Kaitlan Collins: Trump Succeeded in ‘Whitewashing’ the Events of January 6 Four Years Ago

‘He held a screening of a documentary focused on John Eastman, who, of course, was the famous attorney who urged Vice President Mike Pence saying that he did have the legal authority to stop the certification’

EXCERPT:

COLLINS: "It was very successful, I think anyone would argue, if you‘re a critic of Trump‘s or you're a fan of his. I was thinking, as you look at the contrast of four years ago and today, it really could not be clearer, especially how Trump himself and those around him view it. You know, I was there covering the White House that day, talking to people who worked there, who were calling, who were horrified by what they were watching. A lot of them resigned that day and said they would never be in his orbit again. Many of them are trying to get back into it right now as he's prepares to obtain power."
TAPPER: "Betsy DeVos, for example."
COLLINS: "For example, the cabinet secretary who has resigned and has been around Trump in fundraising meetings recently. But also Trump himself. You know, obviously that day he resisted saying anything about it, he resisted coming out and telling people to go home, calling them peaceful protesters, until his daughter Ivanka Trump stepped in. But look at what he did this past weekend at Mar-a-Lago. He held a screening of a documentary focused on John Eastman, who, of course, was the famous attorney who urged Vice President Mike Pence saying that he did have the legal authority to stop the certification."
