Showing Original Post only (View all)Alex Jones Says His Orders for the January 6th Insurrection Came from Trump [View all]
The subpoena for Alex Jones was especially revealing. It provided a detailed account of his complicity with Trump in his attempted coup. For instance, the subpoena affirmed that Jones stated that...
"...the White House told you on or about January 3, 2021, that after the Ellipse rally ended on January 6th, you were to lead a march to the Capitol, where President Trump would meet the group [...] and to gather on the east side of the Capitol to hear President Trump speak."
This is not a speculative assertion by the Committee. There is video evidence of Jones stating that his actions were being directed by the Trump administration. Jones said that...
"The White House told me three days before, we're gonna have you lead the march. The Secret Service, before Trump finishes thirty minutes before, will lead you to point, take you out of the front row, and lead you to the place where they want you to start the march. And Trump will tell people 'Go, and I'm gonna meet you at the Capitol.'"
