'He told me he does have some responsibility for what happened,' House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy told fellow House Republicans days after the attack.
on January 6, 2021, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy told fellow House Republicans that then-President Donald Trump had acknowledged bearing some blame for the deadly attack, according to newly released audio.
Jonathan Martin and Alex Burns, New York Times reporters and authors of the forthcoming book,"This Will Not Pass," have released a series of clips of McCarthy's phone calls with fellow Republicans from the days after the insurrection. "I've had it with this guy," McCarthy said."What he did is unacceptable. Nobody can defend that, and nobody should defend it." "It would be my recommendation you should resign.
Several members of the committee investigating the January 6 attack told CBS News they've long sought an interview with McCarthy. They said the audio shows McCarthy could shed light on Trump's mindset. "The reports of what the president said, that he understood that he bore responsibility, that's consciousness of his guilt. And it is an important element of piecing together all of the facts relative to January 6th," Democratic Rep. Zoe Lofgren said.
