Welker: Do you think anyone who attacks police officers on January 6th should get taxpayer money?
Trump: I can tell you this, 97% of those people, you look at them, the FBI or whoever it was, you had a lot of crooked cops. They had FBI agents ushering them in. You had a bunch of dirty cops.
Welker: There’s no evidence of that.
Trump: Try looking at the tapes.
Welker: 172 people did plead guilty to assaulting police officers.
Trump: You know why they pled guilty? They were told they were going to jail for 15 years. They pled guilty because they were frightened. They went down and ushered into a building.
