Trump News Today: Esper Says He Stopped Former President Doing “Terrible Things”

Republican governor urges remaining Republicans to “move forward” from Trump

A new report claims that former President Donald Trump is “completely amazed” by the various sinister stories that revolve around Madison Kothorn, the young far-right congressman who has recently been embarrassed by obscene images and videos of his lewd antics. Mr Kothorn was also twice caught carrying a gun at an airport and had numerous encounters with police while driving.

Meanwhile, former Secretary of Defense Mark Esper is heading for his soon-to-be-released book about his experiences with Donald Trump. Among the allegations he made was that during the Black Lives Matter protests in the summer of 2020, Mr. Trump wanted to deploy 10,000 troops on the streets of Washington and order them to open fire on protesters.

Mr Trump responded to the story by insisting instead that a similar deployment be made on January 6, 2021, in order to maintain order before Joe Biden’s election victory is confirmed. He claims without evidence that he was refused.

Mr Esper, who was fired in November 2020 following a dispute with the former president, made some startling revelations in his new book, The Sacred Oath, due out tomorrow.
