London — Britain's Prince Harry said on Tuesday that he "warned" Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey in an email exchange on January 5 "that his platform was allowing a coup to be staged," a day before rioters attacked the Capitol building in Washington D.C.
"That email was sent the day before, and then it happened and I haven't heard from him since," Harry said, speaking as part of a virtual panel discussion for the "RE:WIRED" conference, hosted by WIRED magazine.
A House of Representatives select committee was formed earlier this year to investigate the January 6 attack, which saw thousands of supporters of former President Donald Trump descending on the Capitol as Congress counted electoral votes, a largely ceremonial last step to affirm President Biden's election victory. The riot led to five deaths and the arrest of hundreds of people.
