Trump defends speech leading up to Capitol riot and slams impeachment push

President Trump defended his role in the run-up to the attack on the U.S. Capitol last week, saying his remarks to supporters were "totally appropriate."

During his speech, he urged the large crowd in Washington to walk to the Capitol in an effort to encourage Congress to reject election results.

Trump faces fresh impeachment proceedings and warnings of legal jeopardy for his alleged role in inciting rioters.

But on Tuesday, en route to Texas, he told reporters at Joint Base Andrews that he did nothing wrong.
