Following the January 6th Capitol attack, then-President Trump’s team has been in conflict with various media outlets, including the BBC, over their reporting. The controversy stems from the BBC’s editing of a speech Trump gave before the riot, in which he urged his supporters to “fight like hell.” Despite the availability of the full speech, Trump’s camp has criticized the BBC, which echoes the sentiment that the media has portrayed “fake news.” This backlash highlights the challenges of reporting on Trump, where any criticism is seen as bias.

Following the January 6th insurrection, former Trump aide Stephen Miller suggested that federal law enforcement could arrest Democrats, including Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, who impede ICE operations. Miller stated that any state or local official obstructing federal immigration law enforcement could face criminal charges, including obstruction of justice and seditious conspiracy, while asserting ICE officers have federal immunity. This threat and the immunity claim were met with backlash, as Trump has previously called for the imprisonment of Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, while also attempting to deploy National Guard troops to the Chicagoland area. These statements follow Pritzker’s appearance on Fox News where he criticized Trump’s actions and potential electoral interference, prompting the deputy chief of staff’s response.

The revelation of Mike Pence’s never-before-published notes, as reported in a new book, offers critical evidence in the case against Donald Trump. The notes, including an “angry face” emoji doodle, offer a peek into the tense moments surrounding the January 6th events and the former President’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election results. The book suggests that these notes, along with other pieces of evidence, strengthen the arguments against Trump.
One of the key elements emerging from the book is the alleged pressure Trump put on Pence. It’s reported that Trump told Pence that he would be perceived as a “wimp” if he didn’t cooperate in overturning the election results.… Continue reading
In a recent Truth Social post, former President Donald Trump called for the prosecution of several Biden administration officials, including Jack Smith, Merrick Garland, Christopher Wray, and Lisa Monaco, over their alleged involvement in the investigation into the 2020 election. Trump claimed these officials were involved in an operation that spied on members of Congress and rigged the election, though the documents he referenced are unclear. This call for prosecution comes after the Senate Judiciary Committee released documents revealing the FBI’s analysis of phone records of Republican members of Congress during the investigation into the January 6th Capitol attack. Trump has previously expressed animosity towards Smith, and other GOP members have requested the Department of Justice investigate him.

In a recent social media post, Donald Trump falsely claimed that the “Biden FBI” placed agents within the crowd during the January 6th attack on the Capitol. This statement echoes long-standing conspiracy theories, despite investigations and reports, including one released in December 2024 by the Justice Department inspector general, which found no evidence of FBI undercover employees in the protest crowds. The inspector general’s report did identify 26 confidential sources, with some tasked to report on potential domestic terrorists. The former president’s claims appear to confuse the number of agents sent to respond to the developing crisis, and are contrary to facts.

In a recent Truth Social post, former President Donald Trump falsely claimed the “Biden FBI” placed agents in the crowd on January 6, 2021, echoing previously debunked conspiracy theories. This claim, which has no basis in reality as Joe Biden did not take office until January 20, contradicts the fact that Trump himself was president at the time. The FBI has consistently denied involvement in instigating the riots, and a Justice Department report found no evidence of agents participating in the attack. Despite these facts, Trump has continued to promote such claims, and the events of January 6 and the role of law enforcement agencies remain a subject of debate.
