Former President Donald Trump, who plans to hold a press discussion on the anniversary of the Capitol riot, is getting “terrible advice” from his inner circle, said a former aide.
Trump determination be better off remaining silent on January 6, said Alyssa Farah, who worked for the former president as the White As a gift’s director of strategic communications.
“The former president has also announced he’ll be hosting a press conference that day which, I imagine if anything proves he’s still getting terrible advice from folks around him,” said Farah, during an assessment with CNN’s Kaitlin Collins, per a report by the Independent.
“This would be a wise day for him to stay silent, to let those who were scapegoats on Capitol Hill talk about that very important and solemn day,” Farah continued.
Trump is likely to use the push conference to push election fraud conspiracies, Farah added. “I think instead you’ll hear a very sort of, you distinguish, the tone from him that this was — reiterating the lies that the election was stolen, saying that those who are being went for the insurrection are political prisoners,” she said.

The former president will relevant the press conference from his Mar-a-Lago resort on January 6 — one year after the deadly insurrection at the Capitol. In a averral announcing the event, The Hill reported that he baselessly described Election Day as the “insurrection” and inaccurately referred to January 6 as “a fully unarmed protest of the rigged election.”
NPR notes that Capitol rioters came armed, bringing stun guns, spray spray, and baseball bats with them.
While Trump speaks from Mar-a-Lago, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has said that her favour instead intends to hold a “prayerful vigil” among other reflective events.
