UK's Priti Patel defends claim that Trump's remarks led to 2021 Capitol riots violence.

UK's former Home Secretary Priti Patel defended her comments that former US President Donald Trump's remarks "directly led to the violence" during the 2021 Capitol riots. In a BBC interview, Patel stood by her stance, calling it "right and fair," and contrasted it with Labour's Foreign Secretary David Lammy's more personal criticisms of Trump. The riots occurred as a pro-Trump mob stormed the Capitol, disrupting the certification of Joe Biden as president-elect.
