Jimmy Fallon was surprised by Donald Trump’s reaction when his vice president’s life was in danger ― but not for the reason you think.
On Jan. 6, 2021, Trump allegedly reacted with indifference when he was told by an aide that Mike Pence had to be evacuated from the Senate, as rioters, spurred by the former president’s false claims of election fraud, stormed the U.S. Capitol.
That detail was one of many revealed in a 165-page court filing from special counsel Jack Smith that was unsealed Wednesday in the election conspiracy case against Trump.
“Get this: The filing said that on January 6th, when Trump was told that Mike Pence had to be taken to a secure location for his safety, his response was, ‘So what?’” Fallon said on “The Tonight Show” Thursday.
“To be honest, I’m more surprised Trump didn’t tweet out the secure location,” he added. “‘Hundred-dollar finders fee, sniff him out, boys!’”
