‘I’m a more honest man than you’: Trump ends Piers Morgan interview

Self-proclaimed “free-speech absolutist” Elon Musk’s planned takeover of Twitter has left Donald Trump’s supporters hopeful of his return to the platform, despite his insistence that he is focused making a success of Truth Social.

Some advisers and followers of Mr Trump believe he can be convinced to return to a Musk-owned Twitter, even after he told Fox News on Monday that Twitter has become “boring” and irrelevant.

Meanwhile, Piers Morgan aired part two of his much-trailed interview with Mr Trump last night. The discussion touched on topics including Mr Trump’s already reported remarks about Meghan Markle (”I’m not a fan”) and his reported hole-in-one at a golf game several weeks ago. The encounter also came to reasonably amicable end, despite the original trailer for the interview being edited to show the former president storming out.

Instead, Mr Morgan congratulated Mr Trump on the golfing achievement and remarked: “That was a great interview”.

On another front, the 6 January select committee is reportedly considering how to try and obtain testimony from House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy after leaked audio showed him discussing Mr Trump’s responsibility for the 6 January riot.
