Unmasking the Truth: Analyzing Trump's Candid Interview on Meet the Press

Trump blames Pelosi for January 6

Trump sought to shift responsibility onto former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for the violent events that took place on January 6, 2021, when his own supporters breached the US Capitol. He wrongly claimed that Pelosi "was in charge of security" and had declined the deployment of 10,000 soldiers. However, this statement is untrue. The speaker of the House does not have authority over Capitol security. The responsibility for Capitol security lies with the Capitol Police Board, which supervises the US Capitol Police and grants authorization for National Guard support.

Trump's former acting defense secretary, Chris Miller, testified that he received no formal order from Trump to have 10,000 troops prepared for deployment to the Capitol on January 6. Miller stated that there was no direct instruction from the president.

According to the report released by the January 6 committee, former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows sent an email stating that the National Guard would be present to safeguard pro-Trump individuals leading up to the US Capitol insurrection.

Biden directed Justice Department to indict Trump

Referring to the federal indictments against him, Trump dubbed them as the "Biden indictments," asserting that President Joe Biden had instructed the Justice Department to charge the former president in the cases handled by special counsel Jack Smith in Washington, DC.

There is no evidence supporting the claim that Biden has played a role in the decision to criminally investigate or prosecute Trump. In June, ordinary citizens on a Florida grand jury voted to indict Trump, and the prosecution is being led by a special counsel named Jack Smith. Smith was appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland in November 2022, who was chosen by Biden. However, this appointment does not serve as proof that Biden was involved in the prosecution effort. Biden stated in June that he had not discussed the matter with Garland and had no intention to do so.

Voting fraud during 2020 election

Ridiculously, Trump persistently insisted that the 2020 election was "rigged" against him, adamantly asserting that "theres no questions about it." However, this assertion holds no truth. The election was not rigged, and no substantial evidence has been presented suggesting any fraud that could have influenced the outcome. Both officials from the Trump administrations Department of Homeland Security and state election officials released a statement after the 2020 election, affirming that "The November 3rd election was the most secure in American history."
