McCarthy said Trump admitted to bearing "some responsibility" for January 6 attack, audio reveals

Days after Trump supporters stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy told fellow House Republicans that then-President Donald Trump had acknowledged bearing some blame for the deadly attack, according to newly released audio. 

"He told me he does have some responsibility for what happened. And he needs to acknowledge that," McCarthy said in the private conference call between Republican lawmakers.

But earlier this year, McCarthy told reporters that he didn't remember having that phone call.
