Action and Address by former President (Donald John Trump) during and following Jan. 6 Insurrection at Capitol

from USA TODAY article that includes facts from Jonathan Karl book "BETRAYAL" 

Trump video to rioters: First takes didn't ask them to leave Capitol

Trump had to record a message calling off his supporters from their riot at the Capitol several times, according to Karl.

In the now-infamous video, Trump tells supporters to go home and ends with, “We love you. You are very special.” In earlier versions, though, a White House aide told Karl that Trump never told supporters to leave the building.

“He complained about the election. He empathized with their anger, but he didn’t call on them to go home,” Karl wrote.
