Trump news today: Ex-president says he ‘probably wouldn’t have any interest’ in returning to Twitter

Two attorneys who served at the most senior degree in the Trump White Home are today established to talk to the committee investigating situations leading up to the 6 January insurrection. Former White Residence counsel Pat Cipollone and his onetime deputy Pat Philbin are reportedly talking to the committee on a semi-formal foundation relatively than giving total testimony.

Meanwhile, the most recent Capitol riot defendant to go on demo is blaming his steps on Donald Trump and his phony statements about a stolen election, in a uncommon point out of the former president’s part through the ongoing hearings.

Dustin Byron Thompson, an Ohio man charged with thieving a coat rack from the Capitol, did not deny that he joined the mob on 6 January 2021. But his attorney vowed on Tuesday to exhibit that Mr Trump abused his electric power to “authorise” the attack.

Describing Mr Trump as a person with no scruples or integrity, defence lawyer Samuel Shamansky claimed the previous president engaged in a “sinister” plot to inspire Mr Thompson and other supporters to “do his soiled perform.”
