Trump calls Jan. 6 panel a ‘kangaroo court,’ doubles down on election-theft claim

Former President Donald Trump issued a 12-page statement Monday in response to the House Jan. 6 Committee’s third public hearing, calling the panel a “kangaroo court” and doubling down on his claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen.

Mr. Trump also launched into a campaign-style tirade against President Biden — moving from the bungled Afghanistan withdrawal to the unsecured Southwestern border — and blamed Democrats for using the committee to distract Americans from the “great pain they are experiencing.”

“Seventeen months after the events of January 6th, Democrats are unable to offer solutions,” he said. “They are desperate to change the narrative of a failing nation, without even making mention of the havoc and death caused by the Radical Left just months earlier.
