Hillary Clinton, in an interview with CNN, pointing to the attack by Trump supporters on Congress on January 6, 2021, said that many Republican extremists receive orders for their protests and marches from Trump, in whom there is no longer any trust left. The former US president faces three trials and a number of criminal charges ahead of the 2024 presidential election, and analysts predict he will take controversial and unprecedented measures to get through these difficult days.

Former US President Donald Trump accused former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of attacking Congress on January 6, 2021. In an interview with NBC, Trump said: "I asked her to send the National Guard to Congress three days ago, but Pelosi refused." He added: "January 6 would not have happened if the soldiers had been stationed in Congress." In response to Trump's comments, Nancy Pelosi said: "He knows he was responsible for the attack on the US Congress on January 6, but he attributes the attack to others. These statements are disgraceful."

On January 6, 2021, supporters of former US President Donald Trump attacked the House of Congress in an attempt to prevent the certification of the results of the 2020 presidential election. During the unrest on January 6, at least six people were killed and dozens were injured in clashes with American police. So far, more than 1,000 people have been prosecuted in connection with the attack on the Congress building by extremist Trump supporters.
