The 187 Minutes begin: Trump watches Capitol attack from dining room

Returning to the White House at 1:19 PM, Trump sat in his private dining room off the Oval Office and watched the violence unfold on Fox News for hours. As later documented by the January 6 Committee, he refused repeated pleas from Pat Cipollone, Mark Meadows, Ivanka Trump, and Sean Hannity to issue a statement telling rioters to leave. He made no calls to the National Guard, DOJ, or law enforcement to assist the Capitol Police.
