“As the violent mob attacked our capitol in Donald Trump's name, as they brutally beat law enforcement officers, as they hunted the vice president and the speaker of the House, Donald Trump watched the attack on television for hours. For hours, sitting in the dining room next to the Oval Office. He refused repeated pleas from his family, from his closest advisors, from the most senior officials in his campaign and in our government to tell the mobile to leave.” (09:29–09:36)
