White House adviser: Trump doesn't want to do more to calm riots CNN

White House adviser: Trump doesn't want to do more to calm riots

From CNN's Jim Acosta

A White House adviser said some aides around President Donald Trump are becoming furious that the President won't do more to stop the insurrection at the Capitol.

The adviser said aides have been all but begging Trump to come out and make a statement to begin to calm the situation.

"He doesn't want to" to do more than what he is doing right now, the adviser said.

added quote:
"If we could throw him to the angry mob, we'd throw him to the angry mob now," the adviser said.

So that's not going to happen. NBC reporting now that Trump will release a taped statement.
