Battle for the soul of America

JOE Biden marked the first anniversary of the Capitol riots by attacking Donald Trump and saying the US is in a "battle for the soul of America".

The President said his predecessor had sown a "web of lies” and sat idly as his rabid supporters tried to overturn the 2020 result.

Inside the Capitol, which was ransacked a year ago, he accused twice-impeached Trump of seeking to illegally stay in power.

Biden said: "He refused to accept the results of an election. He's not just a former president. He's the defeated former president.
