President Trump's Motorcade Was Held on West Executive Avenue Outside the White House

President Trump knew well before 2 p.m. that a violent riot was underway at the Capitol, but his motorcade was held on West Executive Avenue outside the White House because he still wanted to join the crowd. Secret Service documents also reveal how agents were poised to take President Trump to the Capitol later that afternoon. Agents were instructed to don their protective gear and prepare for a movement. A few minutes later, they were told the president would leave for the Capitol in two hours. By then, rioters had breached the Capitol and were violently attacking the efforts of law enforcement trying to resist the mob.
