Former President Trump gave a speech at a fundraiser for defendants charged in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol at his Bedminster, N.J., golf club on Thursday and pledged to contribute his own funds, multiple outlets reported.
“You have police officers, you have firemen, you have teachers, you have electricians, you have great people, and they’ve been made to pay a price that is very unfair — in many cases, not in all cases,” Trump said in his remarks, according to a verified by NBC News, which first reported on the speech.
He repeated false claims that “BLM” and “Antifa” were responsible for violence during the riots. He also repeated false claims about the 2020 election.
Trump has repeatedly defended those charged in relation to the insurrection, calling them “great patriots” and saying they were being prosecuted “unfairly.” He has said he would consider pardoning Jan. 6 defendants if reelected.
Trump spoke at the fundraiser as he himself is under investigation for his role in the Jan. 6 insurrection, which has led to the arrests of hundreds.
