Falsely claims Jan. 6 committee 'didn't report' his Capitol rally speech at GOP retreat on anniversary

On the fifth anniversary of the January 6 Capitol attack, Trump falsely claimed during his House GOP retreat speech that the House select committee investigating January 6 'didn't report' that he had urged people to go to the Capitol in his speech at the Washington rally prior to the riot. This claim is demonstrably false - the committee's public hearings, final report, and extensive documentation prominently featured Trump's speech and his direction to supporters to march to the Capitol. The false claim was part of Trump's ongoing effort to rewrite the history of January 6, made on the same day the White House launched an official website portraying the rioters as 'peaceful patriotic protesters.' The lie was delivered in a rambling speech to House Republicans that fact-checkers identified as containing at least 18 false statements.
