Trump Appears To Blame Hezbollah For Pro-Trump Violence On Jan. 6
HuffPost
The president-elect on Tuesday also called America a "horrible place" and said he wants to rename the Gulf of Mexico.
In rambling remarks delivered Tuesday, a day after he was officially certified as the president-elect, Donald Trump trotted out a luxury real estate developer from Dubai who said he wants to invest in U.S. data centers. Trump then pivoted to other complaints, including the name of the Gulf of Mexico and apparently blaming Hezbollah for the violent pro-Trump mob that attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
Hussain Sajwani, an Emirati billionaire and the founder of DAMAC group, spoke briefly at the top of the press conference, telling reporters he intends to invest $20 billion in data centers “catering to AI” across the U.S.
Neither Trump nor Sajwani offered specifics beyond a vague “first phase” that will take place in Texas, Arizona, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Ohio, Illinois, Michigan and Indiana.
Trump took questions from reporters near the end of the roughly hour-long remarks, during which he pledged to make “major pardons” for people convicted of participating in the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
Asked if he intends to pardon anyone convicted of violent offenses for their actions that day, Trump dodged — instead appearing to blame both the FBI and Hezbollah, an Iran-backed militant group in Lebanon, for the violence.
