IG Report Exonerating Trump Thrusts Biden’s False Narrative to Spotlight: He Used the ‘Military Against the American People’

The exoneration of former President Trump of the false accusations that he used tear gas to clear “peaceful protesters” from Lafayette Square for a “photo op,” is thrusting then-candidate Joe Biden’s false assertions into the spotlight, as he initially accused Trump of using the U.S. military “against the American people.”
