"Trump Marks Jan. 6 Anniversary with Election Claims as Rivals and Son Stir Controversy"

On the third anniversary of the Capitol riot, former President Donald Trump reiterated his baseless claim that the 2020 election was stolen and described the attackers as "peacefully and patriotically" acting, despite the violent events of January 6, 2021. In a speech in Newton, Iowa, Trump criticized President Biden and the congressional committee investigating the attack, while Biden had previously condemned Trump as a threat to democracy. Trump also labeled those arrested in connection with the riot as "hostages" and dismissed the severity of the event, a view echoed by some of his supporters.

Former President Donald Trump is using the January 6 Capitol riot as a campaign rallying point, downplaying the violence and pledging clemency for those convicted. Despite over 1,265 people being charged and 460 convicted for the riot, Trump continues to claim election fraud and criticize the treatment of the rioters. Meanwhile, President Joe Biden is focusing his campaign on defending democracy, labeling Trump a threat to the nation. As the 2024 presidential race heats up, both Trump and Biden are centering their messages on the events following the 2020 election, with Trump's GOP rivals also weighing in on the January 6 incident.

Meanwhile, Trump continued to assert election fraud claims at a rally, while President Biden emphasized the danger of such lies to American democracy.

"Trump Battles Special Counsel in Court Amid Jan. 6 Defense Strategy and Contempt Claims"

Former President Donald Trump's potential defense in the wake of the January 6 Capitol riot is constrained by the fact that he cannot credibly claim ignorance or gullibility like other defendants have. Legal analysts suggest Trump will likely argue he genuinely believed he won the 2020 election, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. His lawyers are attempting to discredit the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency's statement on the election's security, which Trump had previously rejected by firing the agency's head. Meanwhile, other January 6 defendants have admitted to being misled by Trump and his allies' false claims, with some acknowledging their gullibility and others citing various personal vulnerabilities to disinformation.
