It seems yet another bombshell revelation from the January 6th House Select Committee has made its way onto the scene and itโs pretty much guaranteed that Donald Trump is going to be downright furious about this one.
During a recent segment, CNN reported that the House Committee penned a letter to Fox News host and close Trump confidante, Sean Hannity, in which they referenced efforts by numerous Trump cabinet members to have then-President Donald Trump removed from office via the 25th Amendment, following the violent January 6th Capitol attack at the hands of Donaldโs supporters.
The letter from the committee claims that Hannity sent a text message to Trumpโs then Chief of Staff Mark Meadows on the day of the insurrection, โrelating to a potential effort by members of President Trumpโs cabinet to remove him from office under the 25th Amendment.โ
โAs you may recall, Secretaries DeVos and Chao both resigned following the Presidentโs conduct on January 6th, as did members of the Presidentโs White House staff,โ the House Select Committeeโs letter to the Fox News host reportedly reads. โWe would like to question you regarding any conversations you had with Mr. Meadows or others about any effort to remove the President under the 25th Amendment.โ

During their recent segment, CNN reporter Jamie Gangel addressed this new letter from the House Committee and analyzed the clear reference to the 25 Amendment in connection to Donald Trump, following the infamous riot.
โThere is nothing that was put in this letter by accident, and that was mentioned very far down,โ Gangel stated. โThere was not a text (message) associated with it, but the words โ25th Amendmentโ were repeated. And my understanding is that there is โ we donโt know, they didnโt reveal texts there โ but it appears the committee has information about conversations that were going on at the highest level about the 25th Amendment. And just to remind our audienceโฆ We heard reporting that maybe some people in the cabinet thought Trump should be removed from office. The fact that the committee may have information about that will also speak, once again, to Trumpโs state of mind.โ
This is far from the first time a revelation regarding Donald Trump and the 25th Amendment has made waves in the news cycle, and Iโm sure itโs far from the last.
Itโs pretty clear that even Trumpโs own people knew damn good and well what a danger he was, especially at that point in time, following his humiliating election loss. They knew what sort of mental state the leader of this nation was in at the time. They knew he needed to go. Itโs just staggering to me that, once the dust settled, none of them have had the gumption to do anything about it. In fact, so many of them still remain loyal to the death.
