As Trump rewrites history, victims of the Jan. 6 riot say they feel 'betrayed' toggle caption Brent Stirton/Getty Images For the millions of Americans who watch the presidential inauguration every four years, the Lower West Terrace Tunnel of the U.S. Capitol is a familiar site. "What I'm very upset about that might happen is that he's gonna let all these people out of jail," said Gladys Sicknick, Brian's mother. toggle caption Tom Dreisbach/NPR "I try not to associate with people who are Trump people and I have lifelong friends that I don't associate with anymore because of what happened," Charles Sicknick said. "The rewriting of the history of Jan. 6, 2021, is incredibly disturbing," said U.S. District Court judge Beryl Howell, an appointee of President Barack Obama, at a sentencing in Dec. 2024. Judge Royce Lamberth, an appointee of President Ronald Reagan, wrote in a court filing last month that he had witnessed "harrowing stories" at Jan. 6 trials, and said that jurors at these trials "know how perilously close we came to letting the peaceful transfer of power, that great cornerstone of the American republican experiment and perhaps our foremost contribution to posterity, slip away from us."
