Former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows dismissed former President Donald Trump’s speech amid the violence at the Capitol earlier this month.

During an appearance on “Fox & Friends,” Meadows—who served as Trump’s final chief of staff—downplayed the remarks Trump gave to a group of supporters on Jan. 6. Trump himself said that he believes his remarks were fine and did not incite violence.
