Biden to take aim at Trump for Jan. 6 attack in anniversary speech
The Hindu
White House spokesperson Jen Psaki said the President sees the deadly attacks as a “tragic culmination of what those four years under President Trump did to our country”
U.S. President Joe Biden will say his predecessor, Donald Trump, had "singular responsibility" for the January 6 attacks during a speech on Thursday marking the first anniversary of the deadly event, White House spokesperson Jen Psaki said on Wednesday.
Mr. Biden and his top aides have been reluctant to talk directly about Trump since he took office last January, even as the Republican former president continued to spread lies about his election loss.
On Thursday, though, Mr. Biden will “lay out the significance of what happened in the Capitol and the singular responsibility President Trump has for the chaos and carnage that we saw and he will forcibly push back on the lies spread by the former president in an attempt to mislead the American people and his own supporters as well as distract from his role in what happened," Ms. Psaki said.
