Former President Donald Trump was uncharacteristically silent on the one-year anniversary of a mob of Trump supporters storming the Capitol, before eventually suggesting that Republicans should simply forget about the event.
Trump has spent months lambasting the Jan. 6 select committee's efforts to link his actions (and those of his closest advisers) with inciting the riot, which resulted in the death of one Trump supporter.
He had previously announced he would hold a press conference at Mar-a-Lago on the one-year anniversary but canceled it just days prior, and the first statement he released on Thursday failed to mention the riot at all despite frequently commenting on it over the past year.
