Trump Cancels His January 6th Press Conference at the Last Minute — Here’s Why

OPINION | This article contains commentary that reflects the author's opinion.

President Donald Trump was planning to host an event at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida on Jan. 6, 2022.

Trump said that he would hold a press conference on the upcoming one-year anniversary.

One day prior to the event, Trump confirmed that the event is canceled.

Trump released a statement that blamed Nancy Pelosi’s January 6th Congressional committee and the “fake news media” as the primary reasons for canceling.

Democrats and a few anti-Trump Republicans have continued their witch hunt investigation into the events of January 6, 2020.

“Why isn’t the Unselect Committee of highly partisan political hacks investigating the CAUSE of the January 6th protest, which was the rigged Presidential Election of 2020?” Trump asked.

“Does anybody notice that they want to stay as far away from that topic as possible, the numbers don’t work for them, or even come close. The only thing they can do is not talk about it,” he said.

The committee claims to be investigating the events of January 6, 2021 at the U.S. Capitol, hoping to pin it all on President Trump. Democrats have created a false narrative that the events of January 6 were an organized attempt to overturn the presidential election result despite an FBI report that has already vindicated Trump.

FBI officials quoted in an exclusive Reuters report have blown the Democrats’ narrative about Jan. 6th wide open.

The report confirms the events of Jan. 6th at the U.S. Capitol were not “the result of an organized plot to overturn the presidential election result.”

The evidence shows that roughly 96% of cases on Jan. 6th were “one-off incidents” and only 4% could be tied to various militia-type groups. These groups were still not centrally coordinated.

“FBI at this point believes the violence was not centrally coordinated by far-right groups or prominent supporters of then-President Donald Trump,” the report reads, adding that “the FBI has so far found no evidence that he [President Trump] or people directly around him were involved in organizing the violence, according to the four current and former law enforcement officials.”

This vindicated Trump as being falsely linked to allegedly inciting or organizing the events of Jan. 6th and wrongfully banned by social media platforms.

A former senior law enforcement official with knowledge of the investigation explained, “Ninety to ninety-five percent of these are one-off cases. Then you have five percent, maybe, of these militia groups that were more closely organized,” he added.

“But there was no grand scheme with Roger Stone and Alex Jones and all of these people to storm the Capitol and take hostages,” he concluded.

Trump said that the panel has political blinders on as it looks of the events of that day, which included a large, peaceful protest as well as the incursion at the Capitol, in isolation.

Trump blamed Democrats and fellow traveler Republicans who are siding with them for not getting to the core of what took place in the 2020 presidential election, which Trump lost to President Joe Biden.

After the election, Trump made multiple allegations of fraud and misconduct. Despite multiple lawsuits that were filed, none resulted in any major change to the results Trump has disputed.

“Look at what is going on now in Pennsylvania, Arizona, Georgia, Wisconsin, and, to a lesser extent, Michigan where the numbers are horrendously corrupt in Detroit, but the weak Republican RINOs in the Michigan House and Senate don’t want to touch the subject,” Trump said, saving particular scorn for those he considers Republicans in Name Only.

“In many ways a RINO is worse than a Radical Left Democrat, because you don’t know where they are coming from and you have no idea how bad they really are for our Country,” he said.

Trump, who has spent his time out of office supporting Republicans seeking election, said that America is not going to be under the heel of Democrats and their allies forever.
