Biden Memoir Excerpt: What Trump Did on January 6 Should 'Follow Him to His Grave'
WASHINGTON — The first excerpt from former President Joe Biden's White House memoir, 'Promise Me, America,' was published by The Atlantic on November 9. In the book, Biden writes that Donald Trump 'led an insurrection' and that what Trump did during the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack should never be forgotten and 'should follow him to his grave.'
According to the Associated Press, Biden in the excerpt criticizes Trump's sweeping pardons of January 6 defendants, writing that one cannot turn a blind eye to police officers being punched, speared and sprayed and still call oneself a friend of law enforcement. He also writes that Trump's administration, determined to tear down institutions and inflame hatreds, has deeply damaged the country and the world.
The memoir is set for release on November 17. Biden, 83, posted on November 8 that doctors remain encouraged by his response to cancer treatment but that the disease sometimes slows him down, and that his book-promotion conversations will therefore be fewer.
