Trump admits for the first time in the loss: “Denouncing invaders to Congress, I had the honor of serving as president”

“I want to start by addressing the shocking attack on the Capitol building,” the president said in his opening remarks, adding that “like all Americans, I am outraged by the violence, the lawlessness and the turmoil. “It is, and always will be, a nation of law and order. The demonstrators who invaded the Capitol defiled the seat of American democracy. For those who engaged in acts of violence and destruction – you do not represent our country. For those who broke the law – you will pay.”

In his remarks, Trump announced that the time had come to calm the winds and restore order in the country. “We have only recently gone through tense elections and flooded emotions. But now we have to cool the tempers and restore calm. We must continue with America’s business,” the president said, stressing that his campaign “pursued any legal proof to protest the election results. My only goal. “It was to ensure the integrity of the vote, and when I did, I fought for American democracy. I continue to strongly believe that we must reform our electoral laws in order to verify the identity and legality of all voters and restore confidence and faith in all future elections.”

“And now, Congress has approved the election results. A new administration will be inaugurated on January 20. My focus now is on ensuring a smooth and orderly transition of power. This moment calls for healing and reconciliation,” Trump, who signed the video when addressing the American nation, said: “Our country, to serve as your president has been the honor of my life. And to all my wonderful supporters, I know you are disappointed, but I also want you to know that our great journey has just begun.”

“This president and this administration condemn it in the strongest terms. It is not acceptable, and those who violated the law should be prosecuted,” said a White House spokeswoman who later stressed the administration “mourns the loss of life and the wounded, and we hold them in our prayers close at this time.” “Our law enforcement are true American heroes. What we saw yesterday is a bunch of violent rioters undermining the legitimacy of the First Amendment, of the many thousands who came to make their voices heard in our nation’s capital.”

Invasion of the Capitol: The death toll has risen to five

The American news network CNN reported tonight (Thursday-Friday) that a Capitol police officer, who was involved in the raid on the building last night, was killed. The death toll from the violent outbreak now stands at five.

At the same time, Capitol Police Chief Stephen Sand announced tonight that he is resigning. This move by Sand came after the burglary incident at the Capitol building last night, and due to the much criticism that is heard about its functioning in terms of the unwillingness of the police forces instead of dealing with the violent mob. His resignation will take effect on January 16.

According to what Sand said earlier, and based on publications in the American media, the Capitol police did not prepare for such an escalation in an incident that took place near the Congress building. Capitol police even admitted that they were preparing for a regular demonstration and did not expect such a violent event.

The incident that took place yesterday in the Capitol building, with the aim of sabotaging Joe Biden’s victory in the election, is considered a serious security failure. The AP news agency reported tonight that three days before the violence that took place on the hill, the Pentagon contacted the Capitol police and offered to reinforce the National Guard forces. The report further noted that while the crowd began marching toward the building, senior U.S. Department of Justice officials offered the Capitol Police assistance from FBI agents. The Capitol Police refused to assist on both occasions.
