Footage found in a trailer for the documentary “Unprecedented” was acquired by Politico and contains new and damaging evidence that will likely be used against failed former president Donald Trump and members of his family.
The documentary was made by British director Alex Holder and will be seen on Discovery+ as a series.
Politico notes that the new footage shows just how much access Holder was given by the ex-president and also provides insight into how the Trump family dealt with the horror of the January 6, 2021 Capitol insurrection:
Ivanka frets about a line on her dress, and jokes about covering it with a pet roaming about. “Can I borrow your dog?” she asks her makeup artist. Kushner nervously repositions his tie and asks “Is that OK?” Don Jr., seen at a rally, screams, “We will make liberals cry again!” Eric is caught on a phone call, mysteriously saying, “For the sake of this country, we’re going to get these guys.”
When the film turns to the day of the Capitol riots, we see Trump instructing his supporters to march on the seat of government, along with footage of his acolytes doing as he instructed:
It all builds to Jan. 6, when the Vivaldi suddenly stops and a wide shot of Trump at the “Stop the Steal” rally in Washington appears. “Let’s all walk down Pennsylvania Avenue,” he tells the crowd.
Then Holder’s cameraperson joined the crowd as it marched on the Capitol. “We’ve got to get the roaches out, all of them,” a protester yells straight to camera as he appears to motion toward Congress. Next up is a montage of scenes from the frontlines as the rioters breach the Capitol and police in riot gear are attacked.
As the Vivaldi fades and the movie’s title appears, Trump’s faint voice can be heard from the distance: “Do you miss me yet?”
Holder has turned over hours of footage he shot for “Unprecedented” to the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection.
