    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Donald Trump has shared a post on his Truth Social website, calling for Capitol Police officers who “beat the hell out of innocent J6 [January 6] protesters” to face criminal charges.

    On January 6, 2021, hundreds of Trump supporters stormed Congress in a bid to prevent Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential election victory from being certified.

    Brian Sicknick, a Capitol Police officer who collapsed after being assaulted on January 6, died the following day, though a Washington D.C. medical examiner later attributed his death to natural causes.

    It is a rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner” by the J6 Prison Choir, made up of men imprisoned after the riot, interspersed with Trump reciting the pledge of allegiance.

    In December 2022 a House Select Committee formed to investigate the Capitol Hill riots attributed the disorder directly to Trump’s actions.

    Separately the Republican frontrunner is also facing criminal charges in Georgia relating to his efforts to block Biden’s election win in the state.
