TFG's January 6 anniversary speech will defend protesters, instead blame antifa and the FBI [View all]

Former President Donald Trump plans to defend the January 6 protesters in a speech on year on, and will likely push conspiracy theories blaming antifa and the FBI for the violence, a source told Axios.

Trump is planning to deliver an address from his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida to mark a year since rioters fueled by his false claims of a stolen election sacked the US Capitol.

The event is intended as "counter-programming" to the solemn events planned by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi around the Capitol on the anniversary,

According to the Axios source, Trump will seek to portray the commission set up to investigate the attack as a "witch hunt." His plan is to again push the untrue claim that the 2020 election was stolen from him as a result of mass fraud, the report said.
