Former President Donald Trump appeared to indicate his agreement with chants of rioters on January 6 as they stormed the Capitol and called for the murder of his own vice president, according to a shocking new report in The New York Times.
The account of the president’s words comes from Mark Meadows, Mr Trump’s own chief of staff, who according to the Times told colleagues that “Mr Trump had said something to the effect of, maybe Mr. Pence should be hung”, for his refusal to interfere with the process of certifying the 2020 election.
