President Biden made it clear in a speech at the U.S. Capitol Thursday that he holds Donald Trump responsible for inciting crowds that stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6th.
Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris honored U.S. law enforcement and Republican and Democrat lawmakers who defended the U.S. Constitution one year ago.
To date, the U.S. Department of Justice has charged more than 700-people for their role in the riots. CGTN White House Correspondent Nathan King begins our coverage.
