Releases video condemning violence (after impeachment)

Under mounting pressure and facing his second impeachment, Trump released a video condemning the January 6 violence. He stated he "unequivocally condemn[ed] the violence," but notably did not acknowledge his own role in inciting the mob or express regret for his rhetoric. Critics characterized the statement as insufficient and politically motivated.
