As the violence was spreading, Trump tweeted at 2:38p: “Please support our Capitol Police and Law Enforcement. They are truly on the side of our Country. Stay peaceful!" But the former official, who was working in the West Wing, says Trump didn't want to say “stay peaceful.” 2/4 — PolitiTweet.org

A former Trump WH official says then President Trump initially refused to tweet the words “stay peaceful” as the attack on the Capitol on January 6th was escalating. This information has been relayed to the Jan. 6 committee, I'm told. (full tweet below) 1/4 https://t.co/H1JdVMzukp — PolitiTweet.org

Trump was “very reluctant to put out anything when it was unfolding" and was “letting it play out,” the ex-official said of the violence at the Capitol. Top officials eventually convinced Trump to tweet the “stay peaceful” message. The former aide spoke to Jan 6 committee. 3/4 — PolitiTweet.org
