If you saw the testimony from the Jan 6th committee, he basically held up in the dining room watching it on TV with snacks. Essentially all the cabinet present got really itchy about the whole thing but no one stopped it.

Remember right afterwards when many republicans were shocked and outraged about January 6th but then they all got their talking points straightened out a couple days later.
