Trump announces January 6 anniversary press conference at Mar-a-Lago to relitigate 2020 election

Trump announced he would hold a news conference at Mar-a-Lago on the first anniversary of the Capitol attack, using the date to press unsubstantiated claims that the 2020 election was rigged. In the statement, he called the House committee investigating the riot the "Unselect Committee" and asked why it was not investigating what he described as the "CAUSE of the January 6th protest, which was the rigged Presidential Election of 2020," describing the events of that day as a "completely unarmed protest." He also used the statement to attack Republicans who had not embraced his fraud claims as "RINOs," saying a RINO "is worse than a Radical Left Democrat." Trump canceled the planned press conference on January 4, 2022, citing the House committee and news coverage as his reasons, and instead issued a written statement on the anniversary.
