<p>Former US president Donald Trump has hit back after the Congressional panel report, released earlier this week, held him responsible for the January 6 Capitol Hill riots.&nbsp;Taking to his social media platform Truth Social, Trump posted a video and said, "The unselect committee [sic] did not produce a single shred of evidence that I in any way intended or wanted violence at our Capitol."</p>

<p>"The evidence does not exist because the claim is baseless and a monstrous lie," added Trump.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Republican leader who is having a tough time receiving support from his party men for the 2024 run said it wasn't an insurrection but a protest that got out of control.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"The events of Jan. 6 were not an insurrection. They were a protest that got tragically out of control."</p>

<p>He repeated that his government had urged for the deployment of 10,000 to 20,000 National Guard troops, a claim, categorically denied by the select committee.&nbsp;</p>

‘Not a shred of evidence against me’: Donald Trump lashes out at Jan 6 panel over its report

<p>House January 6 committee is set to release an 800-page report Thursday that concludes that Donald Trump criminally plotted to overturn his 2020 election defeat. It would further mention that he “provoked his supporters to violence” at the Capitol, by falsely claiming voter fraud.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to the report’s executive summary, Trump’s followers threatened democracy on January 6, 2021, with “horrific” brutality towards law enforcement and “put the lives of American lawmakers at risk”.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Ahead of the release of the report, 34 transcripts from 1,000 interviews were released on Wednesday by the Committee. These interviews were conducted over the course of 18 months. The witnesses who spoke invoked their fifth amendment right against self-incrimination.</p>

<p>“The central cause of January 6th was one man, former President Donald Trump, who many others followed. None of the events of January 6th would have happened without him," the report reads.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The report will reflect the interviews and millions of pages of documents that were presented as evidence during the nine hearings that happened this year. It details how Trump tried to overturn his defeat by pressuring state officials, the justice department, members of Congress and his own vice-president to change the vote.</p>

<p>A 154-page summary of the report that was released Monday, talked about how Trump used social media and public appearances to blow out his claims of voter fraud. It also says he is encouraged his supporters to protest against Joe Biden's election as the president in Washington. The then president urged supporters to “fight like hell” at a huge rally in front of the White House, the report further says.</p>

<p>The committee concluded that it was a “multi-part conspiracy”, with Trump doing little to stop the violence at the Capitol where his supporters beat police and entered the Capitol, sending the lawmakers running for their lives.</p>
