In the final moments of a tense, marathon interview on CNN's State of the Union Sunday, Tapper played Jan. 6 footage and compared it to the fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE agent in Minneapolis. Those are law enforcement officers being physically attacked, Tapper said of the Jan. 6 officers.

The Jan. 6., 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol "does not happen" without Donald Trump, former special counsel Jack Smith told lawmakers earlier this month in characterizing the Republican president as the "most culpable and most responsible person" in the criminal conspiracy to overturn the results of the 2020 election. The Republican-led House Judiciary Committee released on Wednesday a transcript and video of a closed-door interview Smith gave about two investigations of Trump.

Trump's post came in the wee hours of Sunday, at 12:38 a.m. THE BIDEN FBI PLACED 274 AGENTS INTO THE CROWD ON JANUARY 6, he wrote on Truth Social.
