Why did Donnie Jr text Mark Meadows begging him to have his daddy, Donnie, make a statement to have people stop the insurrection? Why couldn't he reach out directly for his dad? Coward?
Donald Trump Jr has remained silent about his own texts to Mark Meadows, the former White House chief of staff, following the revelation that he pleaded with his father’s top aide to convince ex-President Donald Trump to command the rioters to leave the Capitol.
Hours after lawmakers voted to hold Mr Meadows in contempt of Congress for ceasing his cooperation with the January 6 committee, Mr Trump had only commented once on his Twitter and Facebook accounts, and rather than addressing his own messages chose to share an article accusing a Democrat on the panel of spreading misinformation.
“We shouldn’t be surprised given his actions over the past 5 years and given how my emails magically had their dates changed, but he will continue to do this till someone steps up & says enough!” he wrote of Rep Adam Schiff, a favourite enemy of Republicans.
His tweet referred to a story in The Federalist revealing that staff for the January 6 committee had changed the punctuation on a portion of a text message from a lawmaker (which The Federalist confirmed was Rep Jim Jordan) and omitted parts of it. The overall content of the message was reported by The Federalist to have been a word document shared by Joseph Schmitz, former Pentagon inspector general, of an article in favour of Mike Pence interfering in the 2020 election certification.
