FOX News contributor Jonathan Turley on Wednesday ripped the “story” presented by the commission on Jan. 6, slamming its portrayal of former President Donald Trump.
Turley appeared on “Hannity” to discuss his reaction to House Republicans’ condemnation of Congress’ first investigation of Trump in 2021. Fox host Sean Hannity asked the law professor about a different “story” that was never given to the American public about how the events of January 6 unfolded.
Mr. Turley echoed Mr. Hannity’s conclusions, saying that not only was there no “alternative narrative,” there was also no “alternative witness” called to give an opinion on the incident. The law professor said the committee could have done “more” but the group was set up on a “single narrative” despite conflicting information. .

“Well, Sean, you know, there was no alternative story presented. No alternative witnesses were presented. The committee did not subpoena people with opposing accounts. We didn’t explore explanations. It’s this drumbeat on a single story, produced by this ABC producer that they brought in to create this package. The committee was more than that. could have been done, but aside from the fact that the committee actually refused to consider any alternatives to its conclusions. There is a claim,” Turley said.
Turley said the committee’s portrayal of President Trump as a “crazy man” and that the committee claimed the former president tried to hijack the limousine despite the driver denying the charges. continued to criticize the current situation.
“You may remember this ‘rush article’ and the media reported on it. It was reported on all the networks that President Trump was portrayed as a truly insane person who lunged at the Beast and the Secret Service driver who was trying to take control of the presidential limousine over and over again. Committee members knew that when people were reporting this, the driver was denying it. This is because law enforcement officials, including former Congresswoman Liz Cheney, said it didn’t happen, and yet they allowed a false narrative to get out there, and when she came forward and said, “Let’s do it.” I never said that. Please be honest here. The driver, the person most directly involved, denies it. So we didn’t hear it. But it’s very consistent with what we didn’t hear throughout the January 6th hearing: a different story. ”
