Defeated and twice-impeached former President Donald Trump continues to blame House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Democrats for the January 6 attack on the US Capitol that he incited by peddling falsehoods about the 2020 elections.
In a statement shared by his spokesperson on Twitter, Trump called for the House Select Committee investigating the matter to be disbanded because Pelosi was responsible for the deadly insurrection.
“There would have been no January 6, as we know it, if Nancy Pelosi heeded my recommendation to bring 10,000 Soldiers, or the National Guard, into the Capitol,” said Trump.
“End the Unselect Committee January 6th Witch Hunt right now. Pelosi and the Dems are responsible!,” he added.
Trump’s claim comes despite the fact that thousands of his supporters stormed the Capitol after he encouraged them to stop Congress and Vice President Mike Pence from certifying the 2020 election for Joe Biden.
