Trump’s Jan. 6 call to walk down to Capitol prompted Secret Service scramble

Shortly before pro-Trump rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, Secret Service agents scrambled to try to secure a motorcade route so then-President Donald Trump could accompany his supporters as they marched on Congress to demand he stay in power, according to two people briefed on witnesses’ accounts to congressional investigators.

The hectic events that day followed nearly two weeks of persistent pressure from Trump on the Secret Service to devise a plan for him to join his supporters on a march to the Capitol from the park near the White House where he was leading a massive rally that he predicted would be “wild.”

And Trump lied to everyone there


He was not going to waddle his fat ass there on foot


People like Alex Jones wanted to lead the walk


He was ordered not to walk there

"The testimony, which could be featured as part of a series of high-profile hearings set to begin this week by the House Jan. 6 committee, indicates that several days before his speech Trump had been eager to join supporters on a march to the Capitol. No permit had been issued for such a march, though some Trump allies were touting a march on far-right social media platforms as a way to pressure Congress not to certify Biden’s election victory."
