Trump defends his actions during Jan. 6 riot and says Melania hates when he dances

On the fifth anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, there's no official event to memorialize what happened. Instead, the day displayed the divisions that still define Washington, and the country — with the White House releasing its own report with a revised history of what happened. President Donald Trump shifted blame, telling House Republicans during a morning meeting at the Kennedy Center that he only meant for his supporters to march peacefully to the Capitol that day, where Congress was certifying Democrat Joe Biden's win. Meanwhile, Democrats were hearing from a police officer, a rioter and others during a House panel discussion in an attempt to prevent what they said was a whitewashing of history.

President Donald Trump insists Republicans have "so many good nuggets" to campaign on as they try to hold their slim House majority. On Tuesday, Trump spoke for nearly 90 minutes at a GOP policy forum. He spent much of the time defending past actions and joking about various topics. Trump emphasized the success of his 2024 presidential campaign and pondered why voters turn against the party in power during midterms. But he had little in the way of a fresh policy agenda or a cohesive new message to guide the year. And he warned that if Democrats regain control of Congress, "they'll find a way to impeach me."
