USF professor reacts to House Jan. 6 committee's allegations about Trump's role in Capitol riot

New details emerged from the House January 6 committee about events leading up to the Capitol riot including a meeting described as 'the craziest of the Trump presidency.'

It was one Tweet from President Trump 18 days before the riot that House committee members say was a call to arms to march on Washington DC."President trump tweeted that he wants the American people to march on Washington," Jones said in a video recorded a day later.

Former White House counsel Pat Cipollone told the committee about the meeting and one of the aides called it"unhinged", saying it was a screaming match over the effort to install Trump into a second term in office, including an idea to use the military to seize voting machines. "To confuse the country, confuse the process of the transference of power and they were manipulated," says Jones.
