President Donald Trump criticized US media and the congressional investigation into the January 6 Capitol attack, accusing the committee of omitting key facts. Speaking at a House GOP retreat, Trump mentioned that the committee did not report his call for calm, emphasizing the words “peacefully and patriotically.”
Trump also alleged that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi rejected security support before the attack, claiming she was offered 10,000 soldiers but declined. He further criticized the media for not covering these claims, stating that the press displayed systematic bias.
The former president highlighted his electoral victories as evidence of declining media influence and accused news organizations of lacking credibility. Trump specifically targeted major newspapers like The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, claiming they had deviated from their journalistic standards.
The ongoing January 6 attack investigation and its aftermath continue to be contentious topics in US politics, with Democrats advocating for accountability and Republicans questioning the committee’s actions and findings. Media credibility has become a focal point in Trump’s political discourse, especially as he faces ongoing scrutiny from national news outlets.
