Trump avoids responding to the House committee that asks for his statement and insists on electoral fraud

The former president of the United States Donald Trump has avoided responding this Friday to the parliamentary commission of January 6, which a day before requested his affidavit, for the assault on the Capitol, he has insisted that the elections were rigged and has given as an example the large crowd that came to his support.

In a harsh letter to the chairman of this committee, Democrat Bennie Thompson, Trump has avoided making reference to the vote for him to testify, but he has lashed out at them, whom he has accused of spending "hundreds of millions of dollars on what many consider to be a farce and a witch hunt".

In the text, written in Truth Social --the social network he created to counteract his expulsion from Twitter and Facebook for his lies about the elections--, Trump once again gives free rein to his conspiracy theories that the elections were sneaked up and asked Thompson why they hadn't investigated it.

"The 2020 Presidential Election was rigged and stolen!" Trump wrote in capital letters between exclamation marks. All this accompanied by a series of aerial photographs in which the magnitude of that concentration is observed, in which it was later learned that several armed militias participated.

In this sense, Trump seems to use as an example to support his theory the power of convocation that he had that January 6 when before his followers went to the Capitol to retain the transfer of power, they first went to the doors of the White House where he gave a speech.

"It turns out it was one of the largest crowds I've ever spoken to," Trump stressed, wondering why the "size" and "meaning" of that mob "has never been a topic of debate" within this committee nor among "the fake news media".

Trump has somewhat rejected the accusations about his responsibility for the disturbances that occurred, since "only by instinct", knowing the "large crowd" that would come to Washington to listen to his speech, ordered the deployment of "thousands" of troops to guarantee "peace" and "security" in the city.

This is the "most detailed" response that Trump promised he would give shortly after learning of the House committee's decision, which he called a "giant scam" made up of a group of radical left losers and two failed Republicans. ", referring in this last case to Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger.

"Let's make America great again!" exclaimed the former president, who wondered why this group "of thug politicians that no one has elected" has waited "until the end" to ask for his statement, hinting that there would be electoral interests now that in a little less than a month there are parliamentary elections.

The committee of the United States House of Representatives investigating the assault on Capitol Hill voted Thursday in favor of Trump testifying under oath about his possible responsibility in the assault on Capitol Hill and the "criminal conspiracy" he would have orchestrated to reverse the result of the presidential ones.
