A former Trump advisor said that Democratic lawmakers and some court officials who claim that former President Donald Trump engaged in an insurrection during the Jan. 6 Capitol breach are losing the narrative.
Former Trump national security official Kash Patel Patel had testified to the committee, which dissolved with the current Congress, that President Trump verbally authorized the deployment of the National Guard troops. The final report from the Jan. 6 committee and its panel members have said otherwise, claiming that wasn’t the case and also cast doubt on Mr. Patel’s credibility.
