Judges overseeing the cases against the rioters are using their platform to try to combat distortions about the attack that have been promoted by Donald Trump and his allies. Judges appointed by presidents from both political parties have described the riot as an affront to democracy and admonished defendants for casting themselves as the victims of politically motivated prosecutions.
