Trump Rips Jan. 6 Final Report, Blames Pelosi, Says He Called for Peace

Former President Donald Trump has lashed out at Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi following the release of the House January 6 committee's final report.

The panel investigating the deadly January 6, 2021, siege on the U.S. Capitol released the final report Thursday evening. The report says that Trump was the "central cause" of the attack, with the former president having launched "a multipart plan to overturn the 2020 presidential election."

Trump denounced the 845-page document as a "highly partisan" aspect of a political "witch hunt" almost immediately after it was released. He repeated his false claims of massive fraud in the 2020 election, which he argued was the cause of "the protest."

The former president also claimed that Pelosi had ignored his "recommendation for troops to be used" in Washington, D.C., on January 6, while arguing that he had insisted his supporters act "peacefully" before they stormed the Capitol.
