Donald Trump has once again blamed the violence at the US Capitol on 6 January 2021 on Nancy Pelosi, falsely claiming that it was her supposed failure to secure the building that enabled the attack on it even though she does not have control of the Capitol Police.
He also decried the “unselect committee” investigating the riot for not looking into non-existent mass voter fraud instead of going after “those who were protesting its result”.
It was recommended that she call in “soldiers” in advance of the riot, which if true would imply that he himself expected the protest to turn violent.
Meanwhile, the ex-president’s former deputy continues to defend himself against the Mr Trump’s attacks. Reports say that Mike Pence will use a speech to Federalist Society members in Florida on Friday to insist he did the right thing by refusing to overthrow the 2020 election result on 6 January 2021 (something he was not technically empowered to do anyway).
