McMaster condemned the Capitol attack and said Trump and supporters had compromised American principles for personal gain by spreading election falsehoods and stoking anger. He described the violence as an assault on democracy rather than patriotic action. The judgment is attributed to a named former adviser and does not replace particular criminal findings against individual rioters.
