Former President Donald Trump abruptly canceled his planned speech on the anniversary of the Capitol riots on January 6th.
In a statement released on Tuesday, Trump said he was cancelling the speech "in light of the total bias and dishonesty of the January 6th Unselect Committee of Democrats, two failed Republicans, and the Fake News Media."
He then went on to lob insults at members of the committee, as well as assorted political foes, including "Adam Schifty Schiff" and "Crazy Nancy Pelosi."
Trump tried to blame Pelosi for supposedly not doing enough to stop his supporters from rioting at the Capitol, and also demanded that the House Select Committee investigating said riot look into his baseless claims of voter fraud. Trump also vowed that he would relitigate these topics during an event with supporters in Arizona.

(9,514 posts)That's the only reason I can think of why he canceled. Because there were not going to be camera crews from the networks.

I think Hannity and Trump used to "pillow talk" every night and might still do so.
Hannity's ego isn't much smaller than Trump's, so it should be interesting. The committee seems to have plenty of information that could tie a bow on Trump's involvement.

According to Maggie Haberman of The New York Times, one of the reasons for the cancelation is that Trump's advisors and associates privately told him that the press conference would be a mistake and that he would probably not get his event covered live, something that he reveled in throughout his TV career and as president.
