Reporter Laurie Segall asked the man, whose real name is Jacob Chansley if he regretted his loyalty to Trump. He admitted he was “wounded” that former President Trump did not offer to help him.

“I developed a lot of sympathy for Donald Trump because it seemed like the media was picking on him and seemed like the establishment was going after him unnecessarily or unfairly, and I had been a victim of that all of my life, whether it be in school or at home. So in many ways, I identify with a lot of the negative things that he was going through,” Chansley said.

“I honestly believed and still believe that he cares about the Constitution, that he cares about the American people, and that’s also why and you know it wounded me so deeply and why it disappointed me so greatly that I and others did not get a pardon,” Chansley added.

Before Trump’s term ended, he issued several pardons to his supporters such as former White House strategist Stephen Bannon, though he did not issue any to the alleged Capitol rioters.

Chansley was arrested less than a week after the deadly Jan. 6 Capitol breach. He has been charged with knowingly entering a restricted building without lawful authority and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds. Chansley reportedly stopped eating after being put in prison, refusing to eat any food that wasn’t organic. He faces up to 20 years behind bars.

In the teaser, the Duchess of Sussex was asked how she felt Buckingham Palace would respond to hearing her “speak her truth today.” She replied, “I don’t know how they could expect that, after all of this time, we would still just be silent if there is an active role that The Firm is playing in perpetuating falsehoods about us.” Markle says, using a nickname for the royals purportedly originated by King George VI, Page Six notes.

“And if that comes with risk of losing things,” she adds, “there’s a lot that’s been lost already.” The 30-second promo clip was released after Buckingham Palace announced on Wednesday that it will launch an investigation into allegations of bullying made against Meghan by former members of staff.

Meghan’s spokesperson responded to the claims, calling it a “smear campaign” that has upset the Duchess in particular because she has been “the target of bullying herself and is deeply committed to supporting those who have experienced pain and trauma.”

“I now understand I acted in a way that made people uncomfortable,” Cuomo said, referring to allegations he forced a kiss a state employee, made sexual comments to her and another state employee, putting his hands on the face of a woman at a social event, asking if he could kiss her. “I feel awful about it and frankly I am embarrassed by it. That’s not easy to say, but it’s the truth,” Cuomo said at the state capitol.

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said Tuesday that if the allegations against the governor are true, “he can not govern.”
Cuomo made it clear on Wednesday that he has no plans to go anywhere. “I’m not going to resign,” he said.

Meanwhile, Debra Katz, an attorney for Cuomo accuser Charlotte Bennett, released a statement blasting the press conference:
“The Governor’s press conference was full of falsehoods and inaccurate information, and New Yorkers deserve better,” Katz said.
