Former president Donald Trump speaks during the Pray Vote Stand Summit, Friday, Sept. 15, 2023, in Washington. Former President Donald Trump repeatedly declined in an interview aired Sunday to answer questions about whether he watched the Capitol riot unfold on television, saying he would "tell people later at an appropriate time."
In the interview, taped Thursday at Trump's golf club in New Jersey, Trump refused to say who he called as the violence unfolded. "Why would I tell you that?" he said. "I'm going to look at them, and I certainly might if I think it's appropriate" to pardon them, the former president said. As he pushed to overturn the election, Trump relied on a band of outside allies who undertook what federal prosecutors have called a "criminal scheme" to fraudulently overturn the 2020 results instead of relying on the advice of attorneys in the White House who urged him to accept his loss to Biden."I didn't respect them," Trump said.
The NBC appearance was Trump's first broadcast network interview since leaving office and marked Welker's debut show as host.
