Trump Threatens ‘Appropriate Action’ Against Jan. 6 Committee

Former President Donald Trump on Monday said he “may bring appropriate action” against the Jan. 6 Committee.

The statement, issued through the Save America political action committee (PAC) and shared on Trump’s Truth Social account, came as part of an announcement about a lawsuit he brought against CNN, alleging defamation.

It is unclear whether Trump was threatening to bring legal action against the Jan. 6 Committee, or something else.

A spokesperson for the Jan. 6 Committee did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Trump’s threat.

In his statement on Monday, Trump said of the Jan. 6 Committee: “notwithstanding overwhelming evidence, they REFUSED to investigate the massive Presidential Election Fraud which took place, but only investigate and harass the people and Patriots who complained and asked questions about it.”

He added: “The rigging and stealing of our Presidential Election was perhaps The Crime Of The Century, and look at what is happening to our Country now!”

Trump also said that the committee has “refused to acknowledge” that he had “recommended and authorized thousands of troops to be deployed to ensure that that there was peace, safety, and security at the Capitol and throughout the Country.”

“That offer of National Guard was rejected by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, and Mayor Bowser of Washington, D.C.-the law requires their request, they failed to make one, and in turn failed the Country,” Trump added.

Former Pentagon chief of staff Kash Patel previously noted that Trump authorized up to 20,000 National Guard troops for use in D.C. or elsewhere on Jan. 6, 2021, but the use of those troops was later rejected by D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and the U.S. Capitol Police.

Patel explained in an EpochTV documentary published in July called “The Real Story of Jan. 6”  that Trump several days before Jan.
