The report quoted a source as saying that an adviser had explained to Trump: "Think O.J. The ABC said O.J. here refers to O.J. Simpson, a former American football player accused of murdering his ex-wife and her close friend and later acquitted for flaws in the evidence. However, after being sued by his ex-wife and friends' family, he faced harsh civil damages.

According to ABC, sources told the media that White House legal adviser Pat Cipollone had warned Trump that he could face legal danger by "encouraging his supporters to storm the Capitol."
