Biden, White House says, to confront Trump's 'singular responsibility' for Jan. 6
ABC News
In a speech Thursday, President Joe Biden will confront former President Donald Trump's "singular responsibility" for Jan. 6, the White House said.
President Joe Biden took the oath of office just days after the violent attack on the Capitol last Jan. 6, but he has fastidiously tried to prevent those unprecedented circumstances -- or his predecessor -- from dominating his first year in the White House.
On the anniversary of the insurrection, though, his spokeswoman said he plans to do something he typically avoids: confront the legacy of President Donald Trump in a direct, personal way.
Biden will, during a Thursday speech at the Capitol, "lay out … the singular responsibility President Trump has for the chaos and carnage that we saw," White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Wednesday.
On Jan. 6, ABC News Live will provide all-day coverage of events marking one year since the attack on the U.S. Capitol and the continuing fallout for American democracy.
