The
Star-Spangled Banner
, sung by convicts.
And not just any inmates: the J6 Prison Choir presents itself as a choir made up of around twenty men imprisoned because of their participation in the assault on the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
According to CNN, the inmates would have contacted the former president of the United States to set up this project.
Trump reportedly recorded his text himself from his home in Mar-a-Lago, Florida.
While the prisoners interpret the American anthem, he chants excerpts from the oath of allegiance, the one that each president recites at the time of his inauguration.
The conditions for the registration of the detainees remain unknown.

The support of the former President of the United States for the prisoners of the January 6, 2021 assault is unwavering.
In November, during his declaration of candidacy for the Republican primary, Donald Trump announced that he was thinking
“very, very seriously”
about granting a full pardon to the Capitol rioters if he returned to the White House.
In early January 2023, the Ministry of Justice said that more than 950 people were arrested for their part in the assault on the seat of parliament.
More than 400 pleaded guilty at trial and 192 received prison sentences of up to ten years.
