The Democratic president blamed Trump for the storm, whose supporters stormed into the House of Representatives exactly a year ago to prevent the election from being “stolen.” He “created a web of lies about the election” because he would put his self-interest before the interests of his country, Biden said.
Biden is destroying the US with his policy, Trump responds in a message his spokeswoman Liz Harrington shares on Twitter. According to Trump, his successor has ensured that the US has lost its borders, has completely lost control of the corona pandemic and has become energy dependent. He also points to high inflation, the chaos in the army and the “embarrassing” withdrawal from Afghanistan. Again, the Republican claims without evidence that he was fraudulently robbed of the election victory.
Trump had scheduled a press conference for Thursday, but postponed it earlier this week to later in the month. Social media played an important role for Trump. He was banned from Twitter, Facebook and YouTube for incitement, after which he made unsuccessful attempts to maintain digital contact with his followers in other ways. In October, plans came out for the TRUTH Social platform. The launch was set to take place soon, but the app would now be put online on February 21. The Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) says it wants to offer an alternative to Twitter and later also wants to bring news, podcasts and entertainment.
Sean Hannity
A panel of the United States House of Representatives is currently investigating the January 6, 2021 storming of the Capitol. As part of that investigation, the House on Tuesday requested the voluntary cooperation of Fox News host Sean Hannity. Previously, close confidants of former President Trump, including former adviser Steve Bannon and former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, were subpoenaed to testify before the House.
