Trump's portrayal of January 6 as 'overblown' and his statement that his supporters 'got a little out of hand' contradicts the unanimous narrative from judges handling the over 1,500 cases related to the Capitol riot. Trump seeks to minimize the severity of the attack, downplaying the extensive injuries suffered by law enforcement and the consequences of the events that unfolded that day.
Aquilino Gonell, a Capitol Police sergeant injured during the attacks, expressed feelings of betrayal and frustration, questioning what he risked his life for amidst the misinformation propagated since the incident. His experience epitomizes the confusion and disillusionment felt by many law enforcement officers who faced the violence on January 6.
