White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said it is the current administration's belief that former US President Donald Trump bears responsibility for the January 6 insurrection, APA reports citing Teletrader.

"The former president had a choice to make," Jean-Pierre said. "The choice was do you stand on the side of our law enforcement or do you stand on the side of the mob. His actions speak for himself," she concluded.

On January 6 last year, a group of Trump supporters breached the Capitol building while Congress was in session, which the former head of state was accused of inciting in order to stop lawmakers from affirming election results.
