CNN: “Former President Trump has been talking with advisers in recent weeks about moving on from his ‘stop the steal’ messaging, once the impeachment trial scrutinizing his inflammatory words ends, sources close to Trump say. One of the sources says he realizes continuing to push out that messaging would be politically damaging, because talking about the election will only conjure up images of the riots. The Trump adviser who has been in touch with the former President in recent days says, ‘He’s past the election – he understands he needs to be past it.'”
“But a separate source close to the Trump team, when asked whether Trump would stick to moving on said, ‘Good luck with that!’ CNN has previously reported that Trump is not showing any remorse for his words and actions leading up to the Jan. 6th riot – even as Democrats present damning new evidence this week. The source also said that the Trump defense team’s focus would be on how the former President told his supporters to go ‘peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard’ on Jan. 6. After Dems were criticized for not showing Trump using the ‘peacefully and patriotically’ line during their evidence on Tuesday, impeachment manager Madeleine Dean included video evidence of it in her portion of Wednesday’s session.”
