Trump inauguration live updates: Trumps bid farewell to Bidens at Capitol

In more off-the-cuff remarks inside the Capitol’s Emancipation Hall after his address, Trump spoke about people who have been convicted for their roles in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol as “hostages.”

“I was going to talk about the J6 hostages,” Trump said. “But you’ll be happy because, you know, it’s action not words that count.”

Trump previously promised to pardon some Jan. 6 rioters on Day 1.

He also went after former Reps. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, two Republican members of the House Jan. 6 Committee who are outspoken critics of Trump because of his actions after the 2020 election.

“And I was going to talk about the things that Joe did today with the pardons of people that were, very, very guilty of very bad crimes, like the Unselect Committee of political thugs,” Trump said.

As the nation prepares for the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden, President Donald Trump bid farewell to the Bidens at the Capitol this morning. The outgoing President and First Lady Melania Trump greeted the incoming President and First Lady, exchanging pleasantries before departing for their new lives outside of the White House.
