In a recent interview, former U.S. President Joe Biden said that then-republican candidate Donald Trump "led an insurrection" and should be held accountable for the January 6, 2021 assault on the Capitol.
Biden emphasized during the conversation that the events of January 6 were not merely a political incident but a coordinated effort aimed at undermining the electoral legitimacy of the 2020 presidential election results. According to him, Trump used media platforms to spread misinformation and mobilized his followers toward violent actions.
