White House Launches Official Website Redefining January 6 Attack and Blaming Pence
Washington D.C., Wednesday, 7 January 2026.
On January 6, 2026, the Trump administration utilized official government resources to launch a webpage that fundamentally reinterprets the events of the 2021 Capitol attack. This executive action formally shifts blame onto the U.S. Capitol Police for allegedly escalating tensions and explicitly accuses former Vice President Mike Pence of cowardice. By characterizing the insurrection as a misunderstanding and the rioters as peaceful patriots, the White House is institutionalizing a revisionist narrative that directly contradicts judicial rulings and historical records, signaling a significant shift in how the federal government formally acknowledges attacks on democratic processes.
