Trump plays down his role in Capitol riot and claims some rioters are 'innocent'

Reported 9 months ago

Former President Donald Trump downplayed his involvement in the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, stating some people 'asked me to go make a speech' during a presidential debate. Trump faces federal charges related to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election, with the Supreme Court deciding on his presidential immunity. He denied offering troops to protect his supporters and falsely claimed many rioters were 'ushered in by the police.' Prosecutors have charged over 1,400 in connection with the attack, with more than 1,000 convicted, including a Proud Boys leader receiving 22 years.
