Aide: Trump dismissed Jan. 6 threats, sought to join armed mob at Capitol

Former President Donald Trump dismissed the presence of armed protesters headed to the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and even endorsed their calls to “hang Mike Pence,” a key former White House aide told House investigators Tuesday. And Trump fought security officials for control of the presidential SUV as he struggled to get to the Capitol, the aide said, though that account is being disputed.
