Politico: Trump cancels Jan. 6 event amid GOP complaints
Republican senators said the press conference wasn’t a “good idea” hours before the former president canceled it.
Trump was planning to defend the rioters at the same time as ceremonies to honor those killed and injured will be taking place on Capitol Hill.
Former President Trump abruptly canceled a news conference late Tuesday that he was scheduled to host at Mar-a-Lago on the anniversary of the January 6 insurrection, but which his allies warned would cause unnecessary problems for Republicans and himself. https://t.co/p5UiBB2VDi
