#january-6

The White House put up a website. I mean, there's no other really way to put it, besides that it denied reality. And because you did not because you certified the election, as you were legally bound today to do. It said that, Mike Pence Refuses to Act. It called, Betrayal of the President, and said that it was an act of cowardice and sabotage.

The pardons issued last January sent a clear message to the American people: political allegiance now matters more than criminal conduct. But over the past year, we've also seen a sustained effort to rewrite the facts of January 6, as if the historical record could be negotiated away or erased, said Gregory Rosen, who led the justice department unit that prosecuted January 6 cases. But Americans remember that day for a simple reason we watched it happen.

I find it hard to believe that you're lecturing us about peaceful protest," he said. "Look at what happened, January 6, here at the Capitol. The attack on our democracy, that is an insurrection.

Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 election and to prevent the lawful transfer of power, Smith told the House, adding: Our investigation also developed powerful evidence that showed that President Trump willfully retained highly classified documents after he left office in January of 2021, storing them at his social club, including in a ballroom and

Asked whether he developed evidence that Donald Trump was responsible for the violence at the Capitol on January 6, Smith did not say yes or no. He said Trump caused the circumstances, exploited the violence once it began, and understood what it was doing for him. That answer is now at the center of a political firestorm because the Justice Department released the full 255-page transcript of Smith's closed-door testimony late on New Year's Eve, a timing that guaranteed selective reading and rapid political framing.

But Jeanine Pirro did. She want on social media and repeated the apparent miscitation of Cole's own words I laid out here, treating a comment made in the present tense this month - "I really don't like either party at this point" - as if it were a comment about his mindset on January 5, 2021.

That original committee investigated both the failures of security and the events that led up to the attack, ultimately determining that President Donald Trump's baseless claim that he only lost the 2020 presidential race to Joe Biden due to widespread fraud was the "central cause" of the event. That original committee was led by Democrats. The new GOP-led committee, which was established through a House resolution in the fall, ostensibly seeks to examine parts of the attack that the first committee supposedly overlooked, namely the security failures.

President Donald Trump sued the BBC for defamation. On Monday night, Trump's lawyers filed a civil complaint in a federal court in Florida and are seeking at least $5 billion in damages from the British broadcaster.

'We're gonna walk down to the Capitol and I'll be there with you,' Trump appeared to say. 'And we fight, we fight like hell, and if you don't fight like hell you're not gonna have a country any more.' In fact the footage was made up of content from three separate sections of the speech, with the mention of fighting coming 54 minutes later during a segment on 'corrupt' elections.

For years, he has used lawsuits to intimidate major newspapers and broadcasters, in the process getting major outlets such as and to repeatedly bend the knee. Under his watch, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has reportedly pushed broadcasters to fire personalities, such as Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert, whom he disapproves of and has threatened to withhold broadcast licenses and to stymie lucrative mergers should those broadcasters not fall into line.

which looks at how the DOJ during the Biden administration was overly cautious in pursuing cases against Trump and his allies over 2020 election interference, the January 6 riot and more. Attorney General Merrick Garland felt it was important to "turn the page from Donald Trump" and not look too closely at abuses of power, says Leonnig, who also stresses many "stubbornly brave people ... tried to do the right thing and could not succeed in this institution."

The host defended Cheney's post-9/11 legacy and said it showed he was determined from that moment on, after 9/11, there would never be another 9/11 again. And he was going to do whatever he could to stop it. But he also is seeing reports day in and day out that would have scared the absolute hell out of any American that had access to all the threats, he continued.

As ABC and Politico have written, two AUSAs who've been prosecuting Taranto, Carlos Valdivia and Samuel White, submitted a sentencing memo documenting how the Navy veteran with long-standing mental health issues first participated in January 6 and then, years later, drove his van containing guns and ammunition to stalk Kalorama, looking for Obama while ranting, "Gotta get the shot, stop at nothing to get the shot. This is where other people come to get the shot;"

The Atlanta private-school world is small enough that, the day after January 6th, 2021, I heard from multiple sources that at least one insurrectionist had, like me, graduated from its ranks. Cleveland Grover Meredith, Jr., had attended an expensive school called Lovett in the nineteen-eighties and, as I soon learned from his classmates and friends, had been a star runner there, winning a state championship in the two-mile.

I think that my responsibility is to be transparent and to be honest, and the reality is that we are living in a time in which this administration and this regime is not interested in making sure that people understand history, Crockett said. We need to understand why they are so problematic. And so I am using that language because it is accurate language.

Over the past several days, Tarrio told me, he has activated an "extremely effective" network of Proud Boys to scour the social web, find posts celebrating the assassination of Charlie Kirk, identify the individuals involved, and persuade their employers to fire them. In many of these groups, people celebrate over growing tallies of firings, which they refer to as "scalps," he told me.

Jones raged at Shroyer and mocked his complaints about him. He would try to control the show.' He wouldwhatever, total lie. And then as all the articles come out, Jones censored Shroyer on Trump criticism and Israel.' So let's see if Shroyer comes out and apologizes, Jones said in a clip of his own, adding: Oh no, he's gonna say, I didn't really exactly say that.

Gordon's abrupt firing came despite his recent achievements, including top performance reviews and successfully handling a major indictment against businessman Leo Govoni.

Emil Bove's confirmation as a federal appeals court judge is unprecedented, marking the first time a president's personal lawyer transitioned into such a high-ranking legal position.

After the jury left the courtroom, Reyes encouraged the parties to confer and discuss a possible settlement to avoid the time and expense of an appeal.

Pirro's rhetoric includes calls for prosecuting those she perceives as enemies, indicating a troubling overlap with her current role overseeing similar matters in the Justice Department.
