The former president defended the attackers, citing an attack on Congress that left five dead, saying there was no threat. In an interview on Thursday, former US President Donald Trump defended his supporters who stormed the Congress building on January 6, disrupting the approval process of Joe Biden and marking a deadly incident. He said they posed no threat to lawmakers gathered there to confirm his rival’s victory.
He told a Fox News program that security forces were harassing his supporters who attacked the Congress building, while nothing was happened to the left-wing protesters.
According to the website of the British newspaper “Independent”, while confirming that these people should not enter the building, he said: “Some of them entered and they kissed and hugged the police and the guards.” You know, they had a great relationship. A large number of people entered and then left.
More than 300 people have been arrested in connection with the deadly attack, according to the report. Officials say at least 100 others are likely to face charges.
The January 6 attack on Congress came after Trump called on supporters in Washington to do their utmost to change the outcome of the election.
Following this incident, the process of his impeachment was keyed for the second time, and finally the Senate acquitted him of inciting this revolt.
