President Donald Trump acknowledged his election loss and condemned an attack on the U.S. Capitol in a video on Twitter Inc. late Thursday, a day after his support for the attackers led to bans from social-media companies.
“To those who engaged in the acts of violence and destruction: You do not represent our country,” Trump said “And to those who broke the law: You will pay.”
“A new administration will be inaugurated on January 20. My focus now turns to ensuring s smooth orderly and seamless transition of power,” he said.
“To the citizens of our country, serving as your president has been the honor of my lifetime,” Trump said in closing. “To all of my wonderful supporters, I know you are disappointed, but I also want you to know that our incredible journey is only just beginning.”
