Trump posts video telling supporters to go home but repeats election fraud claims

At 4:17 p.m. on Jan. 6, 2021, Trump uploads a video to Twitter instructing supporters to "go home now" but also repeating false claims that the election was stolen. He says "We love you, you're very special" to the rioters. This comes more than two hours after rioters first breached the Capitol. At 4:32 p.m., Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller authorizes the D.C. National Guard to deploy for perimeter and clearance operations.
