Biden warns Americans not to forget the Jan. 6 attack

President Joe Biden warned Americans not to forget the violent attack that took place at the Capitol four years ago, and he accused President-elect Donald Trump and his supporters of trying "to rewrite even erase – the history of that day."

The warning came on the eve of the fourth anniversary of the attack on the Capitol, in which hundreds of Trump's supporters swarmed into the building as lawmakers were preparing to certify the results of Biden's victory.

The assault led to the deaths of several people and federal convictions for hundreds of rioters. But Trump has repeatedly argued that the attackers were patriots and has called Jan. 6 "a beautiful day" because his supporters were acting on his behalf.
