‘You can blame him’: Trump shifts responsibility for January 6 on Pence

Ex-president's remarks come after his former vice-president said that history will hold Trump accountable for the violence

Donald Trump on Monday responded to Mike Pence's contention that history will hold him accountable for the January 6 attack on Congress, saying the deadly attack was his former vice-president's fault.

Had he sent the votes back to the legislatures, they wouldn't have had a problem with January 6, so in many ways you can blame him for January 6," Trump told reporters on a flight to Iowa for a campaign appearance.
