The Unprecedented film series was released Sunday morning to subscribers of the Discovery+ streaming service. Led by British documentarian Alex Holder, the project gained widespread attention last month when Holder received a subpoena ordering him to provide a House select committee on Jan. 6 with raw footage he obtained during the months he followed Trump and the adults his children and give evidence. in testimony with committee investigators. In a widely shared clip from the film released by Mr. Holder and his associates shortly after he testified before the committee, Trump appeared to downplay the Jan. 6 violence and praised the riotous mob that stormed the Capitol in hopes of prevent Congress. from the certification of Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory. “A very small portion, as you know, went down to the Capitol and then a very small portion of them went inside. But I will tell you, they were angry from the point of view of what happened in the election and because they are smart and they see and they saw what happened. And I think that was a big part of what happened on January 6th,” he said in the clip, which was part of the third episode of the three-part series. But the three Trump children Holder interviewed after the riot were much less forthcoming about the Jan. 6 issue. His second son, Eric Trump, opposes any discussion of the attack, telling Holder: “Yeah, let’s skip the 6th,” while his two older siblings — Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump — similarly declined to comment on whatever happened on the day their father’s defeat became final. After Mr. Holder’s interview with the select committee, sources told The Independent that the committee was particularly interested in the footage of his interview with Ivanka Trump, who served as an unpaid senior adviser to her father’s administration. In an interview with the select committee, with answers given under penalty of perjury, Mrs. Trump told the committee that she agreed with former attorney general William Barr’s assessment that the 2020 election was not tainted by widespread fraud and the her allegations of fraud. The father – who lost the election to Biden – was “bulls***”. But when she spoke to Mr. Holder, Mrs. Trump sang a different tune. On the same issue, he told the director: “As the president said, every vote must be counted and heard. And he campaigned for the voiceless.” Trump, who spoke with Holder three times during the shoot, spends much of his screen time rehashing the same claims the top law enforcement official derided in his sworn testimony before the committee. Speaking about his time in the White House, Mr Trump said: “It’s been an amazing four years and I think people really appreciate that, and that’s why they don’t like to see a rigged election come to an end.” His daughter defended her father’s urge to lie in another department, telling Mr Holder: “For what he does, you know, he has to fight back.”
