White House Publishes Jan. 6 Rewrite on Official Site as Five-Year Anniversary Arrives

The page casts the rioters as peaceful, attributing fault to police and Nancy Pelosi.

Overview

  • The new government site elevates false claims about a stolen 2020 election, portrays Trump as vindicated by mass pardons, and includes a disputed assertion that no officers died, despite Officer Brian Sicknick’s death the next day.
  • With no official commemoration scheduled, Trump is set to attend a private Republican policy forum at the Kennedy Center he has renamed.
  • House Democrats have reconvened the defunct Jan. 6 committee and plan testimony from police, officials and citizens, including former member Adam Kinzinger.
  • House Republicans are launching a separate inquiry led by Rep. Barry Loudermilk to pursue alternate theories and criticize the previous investigation.
  • Ex–Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio, previously sentenced for seditious conspiracy and later pardoned, called for a march from the White House to the Capitol to honor Ashli Babbitt.
