Trump reps reportedly told Parler he'd become an active member of the right-wing platform if it...

Former President Donald Trump was prepared to become an active user of social-media site Parler if it banned his critics - but it resisted doing so, according to an excerpt from an upcoming Michael Wolff book.

In an excerpt from "Donald Trump's January 6: The view from inside the Oval Office," published in New York Magazine on Monday, Wolff wrote that Trump's representatives approached Parler when Trump was in office, proposing that he join the platform once he left the White House.

Parler is a right-wing website that was popular with pro-Trump extremists around the time of the Capitol riots on January 6.

"They had floated a proposition that Trump, after he left office, become an active member of Parler, moving much of his social-media activity there from Twitter," Wolff wrote.
