"While speaking on NBC's "Meet the Press," Trump told host Kristen Welker he wouldn't comment on his activities during the earliest stages of the attack, when he was accused by former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham of "gleefully watching" the riot on television and and "hitting rewind" to view the mayhem.
Welker first questioned Trump about his whereabouts after he spoke at the "Stop the Steal" rally at the Ellipse, filled with pro-Trump loyalists incensed over the results of the 2020 election, which saw now-President Joe Biden defeat the then-incumbent president.
"Tell me how you watched this all unfold," Welker asked the former president. "Were you in the dining room watching TV?"
Trump responded: "I'm not going to tell you. I'll tell people later, at an appropriate time."
