Donald Trump has shared a social media post that claims he tried to activate the Insurrection Act during the January 6 riot in the Capitol Building, which may signal a change in direction in his defense on charges of trying to overturn the 2020 election.

The act is only used in extreme situations where law and order has broken down and the military is called in to contain rebellion.

The post on the social media site Truth Social claims that Trump was prevented from announcing his use of the act by Twitter, now rebranded as X, which was allegedly deleting his tweets on January 6.

If Trump's reposting is an endorsement of this theory, it is a big departure from his defense in his election interference case. The former president's claim until now has been that he didn't know how serious the situation was at the Capitol building.

Trump was indicted on four counts of allegedly working to overturn the results of the 2020 election in the run-up to the January 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol. It is one of four criminal cases that he is facing while he campaigns for the Republican presidential nomination.

He has also pleaded not guilty to charges in the other cases, denying any wrongdoing, and has repeatedly said that they form part of a political witch hunt.

That was the plan! Storm the Capitol, halt the counting of ballots, and wait for Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act believing they'd then get to bring in their rifles and long-term siege gear held in reserve outside DC.
