| U.S. & WORLD BRIEFS | McConnell: Trump ‘provoked’ Capitol siege, mob ‘fed lies’ WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Re- publican leader Mitch McConnell on Tuesday explicitly blamed President Donald Trump for the deadly riot at the Capitol, saying the mob was “fed lies” and that the president and others “provoked” those intent on overturning Democrat Joe Biden’s election. Ahead of Trump’s historic second impeachment trial, McConnell’s remarks were his most severe and public rebuke of the outgoing pres- ident. The GOP leader is setting a tone as Republicans weigh whether to convict Trump on the impeach- ment charge that will soon be sent over from the House: “incitement of insurrection.” “The mob was fed lies,” McCon- nell said. “They were provoked by the president and other powerful people, and they tried to use fear and violence to stop a specific proceeding of the first branch of the federal gov- ernment which they did not like.” The Republican leader vowed a “safe and successful” inauguration of Biden today at the Capitol, where final preparations were underway ASSOCIATED PRESS amid heavy security. President-elect Joe Biden speaks Tuesday during a COVID-19 memorial at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington.
