"House GOP's Efforts to Shift Blame for Jan. 6 Attack and Exonerate Trump"
TL;DR Summary
House Republicans are launching a new probe into the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, aiming to shift blame away from Donald Trump and his supporters. The investigation seeks to challenge the official account and has raised questions about the response of law enforcement and the actions of Trump on that day. The probe comes as Trump and President Biden gear up for a potential 2024 rematch, and as Republicans align to support the former president. The investigation has drawn on conspiracy theories and has been criticized by Democrats as an attempt to distort history and distract from the fact that Trump sought to overturn the results of a free and fair election.
