The House select committee investigating the insurrection has in its possession video outtakes of then-President Donald Trump's message to his supporters on January 7, 2021, the day after the riot at the US Capitol.
The outtakes, first reported by The Washington Post, were part of production of a speech Trump gave the night after the riot.
The panel is expected to show clips of the outtakes during its prime-time hearing Thursday, according to sources familiar with the committee's plans. The outtakes show Trump having a difficult time working through the effort to tape the message. Trump refused to say the election results had been settled and attempted to call the rioters patriots. He also went to great lengths to not accuse them of any wrongdoing.
A spokesman for the January 6 select committee declined to comment on the outtakes.
Rep. Jamie Raskin, a Maryland Democrat who is a member of the committee, confirmed Wednesday night to CNN's Anderson Cooper that the panel has the outtakes and plans to share some of them during the hearing.
"The President displayed extreme difficulty in completing his remarks," Raskin said on "Anderson Cooper 360."
"It's extremely revealing how exactly he went about making those statements, and we're going to let everybody see parts of that," he added.
Rep. Adam Schiff, another committee member, told CNN's Don Lemon later Wednesday that the outtakes "will be significant in terms of what the President was willing to say and what he wasn't willing to say."

(((YAWN))) Time to start defunding the House of Representatives. Too many morons with nothing to do up there. We need to start sending them home to make room in DC for all of the illegals moving there from Texas and Arizona.
Just read the teleprompter committee members. Schiff already has all of it scripted for us.
Me too.
Do you mean the cop who shot Ashley Babbit, or someone I haven't heard about?
And flip things around in the Babbit case: If a white police officer killed an unarmed black protester at more or less point-blank range, don't you think there would've been an investigation?
These idiots need a clue card asap cause most of the American people can care less about Jan 6th and this BS kangaroo committee.

I’m not sure that is actually true.... I know quite a few people who are very concerned about what this committee represents and their disgusting actions as these thugs subvert government to go after their political opponents.
So What?
This is evidence? LOL, what a charade. Our government has devolved to a Zimbabwe state of corruption. I am quite disappointed that the GOP elected officials in Congress are not actively mocking this.
Outtakes. IOW little bits harvested from the whole lot.
The J6 panel has 21 weeks. Including the campaign and holidays. Still got nothing.
the panel has the outtakes and plans to share some of them during the hearing.

Talk about Cherry Picking . . .
Hey, I’d like to see some outtakes of any of the MSM/Talking Heads. How about 60 Minutes, for example????
Oh, so more out-of-context audio/video that can’t be cross-examined...
Stalin would be proud.
This is all about Trump. They couldn’t stop him with two impeachments,Fox News thought they were going to be the heros to knock him out in the very first debate. They were giddy with excitement
He made those dickheads look like the total losers they are, especially Megyn Kelly.
Jan. 6 committee keeps stooping to a new low with propaganda a true sign of their guilt.
