"Report Reveals Trump's Inaction and Lack of Interest in Addressing Jan. 6 Riot"

TL;DR Summary
According to sources, a former top aide to Donald Trump had to write and present tweets to be posted on Trump's account during the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, as Trump was slow to take action and reluctant to calm his protesters through Twitter. The aide, Dan Scavino, was among those who tried to persuade Trump to send a forceful message to the protesters, eventually leading to the posting of a tweet urging supporters to remain peaceful. Trump's reluctance to put out more messages on Twitter was revealed during Scavino's testimony to federal investigators.
