Mr Trump’s threat to American democracy “has only grown more dire in the years since,” according to campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez. Mr Trump, who is criminally accused of leading a conspiracy to unlawfully overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, culminating in a mob he failed to stop, “has financially supported and celebrated these offenders – many of whom assaulted law enforcement on January 6 – by promoting and playing their recording of the National Anthem at political rallies,” prosecutors wrote in a recent court filing. Donald Trump told supporters to ‘fight like hell’ in remarks from Washington DC on 6 January, 2021 as Congress gathered to certify Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory. In September 2022, weeks before midterm elections, he warned that the “Republican Party today is dominated, driven, and intimidated by Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans, and that is a threat to this country.” Last year, on the attack’s second anniversary, he awarded presidential medals to “individuals who made exemplary contributions to our democracy surrounding January 6” and “who “demonstrated courage and selflessness during a moment of peril for our nation”.
