Trump nominee for DoJ inspector general declines to call Capitol riot an ‘attack’– video

Don Berthiaume, President Trump's nominee for Department of Justice inspector general, dodged labeling the January 6 Capitol riot as an 'attack' during his Senate committee testimony, sparking debate over the terminology used to describe the insurrection. This refusal underscores the ongoing political tensions surrounding the event and highlights the potential challenges in achieving consensus on its nature. Berthiaume's stance could impact his confirmation and the DOJ's future investigations into the riot, suggesting a possible reluctance to fully embrace the widely accepted view of it as a violent attack on democracy.
