White House calls Capitol riot ‘terrorist attack,’ endorses ‘extremist’ internet purge

The White House on Tuesday released a report that designates the Jan. 6 Capitol riot a “domestic terrorist attack” and endorses an internet purge of “extremist” content.

The description is likely to draw stiff disagreement from allies of former President Donald Trump who say that the riot, which disrupted certification of President Biden’s victory, has been used to facilitate political censorship. The Biden administration report also calls for beefed up cooperation between the feds and private internet companies and requests the Justice Department to review whether to request a new anti-domestic terrorism law.
