never wavered from his contention that the election was stolen from him, while his children, including Ivanka, supported their father’s post-election challenge.was interested in his footage, something that put him in the spotlight this week after news broke that his materials had been subpoenaed and he appeared for a private deposition.
“It’s been completely insane. I think at the beginning of the week, I started with 112 followers on Twitter, which the majority of them were my family, and by the end of the week, I think I have 35,000, 3 million views on the video that little clip that we put out,” Holder said. “So completely bonkers.”
Although they were not given access to Trump’s private quarters on Election Night — moments that have been a focus on the January 6th Committee — Holder said that there “are some intimate, interesting moments behind the scenes on the campaign.” A focus of the committee’s hearings has been the parade of administration and campaign officials who, in depositions and live testimony, described how they weren’t buying into Trump’s claims of election fraud, and told him so. Holder said that in the post-election period, he spoke to “many people while working on the projects that had their opinions” about the reality of the election, even though he did not interview them for the documentary.
The night before January 6, Holder said, he sent his DP a text, sort of half jokingly, that “I think the president is going to tell everyone to march on the Capitol tomorrow. And so he sort of made a plan for how to deal with the practicalities of that.”
