How video evidence shows Trump, family directing march on Congress

Despite a last minute attempt to distance himself from the invasion on US Congress at the Capitol, a video has exposed how Donald Trump and his family encouraged protesters to walk to the building.

With calls of an impeachment gaining ground against the outgoing president, as a result of the violence protest by his supporters, Trump distanced himself, by calling for calm.

Trump said those who stormed the Capitol building “defiled the seat of American democracy,” adding that “emotions are high, but now tempers must be cooled.”

However, a video showed Trump and his family, including his wife at a backstage monitoring the protests on television.

Eric Trump, son of Donald Trump, who took video shots was heard saying “Guys get ready to go out there. I can’t believed the size of the crowd” as he appreciated the support from Trump’s followers.

Kimberly Guilfoyle, Eric’s girlfriend, who was seen dancing to the loud music was later heard saying “Have you gone to do the right thing? Fight!!!”

Ivanka Trump was also pictured in the video as well while Mark Meadows, Chief of Staff, who was hailed by Eric as “the real fighter.”

Donald Trump completes the family members and allies seen in the video but was not in a merry mood as others were. He was only viewed whispering to those close to him, including Mark Meadows.

Prior to Capitol being stormed, Trump addressed a crowd saying “We will never give up, we will never concede,” delighting the crowd by calling Democratic victories the product of what he called “explosions of bullshit.”

“Bullshit! Bullshit! Bullshit!” people chanted in reply.

Calling the outcome of the election “this egregious assault on our democracy,” he said his supporters should “walk down to the Capitol.”

“We are going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women,” he continued, “and we are probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them — because you will never take back our country with weakness.”

Meanwhile, there are fears of impeachment moves against Trump as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi began Thursday by saying it’s too dangerous to leave the president in charge after Wednesday’s Capitol riot.

She said her Democratic colleagues are “very much interested” in impeachment.

“My phone is exploding, impeach, impeach, impeach,” she added.
