It was reported this afternoon that Trump told Kevin McCarthy that he feels he does bear some blame for what happened at the Capitol last week:
NEWS: McCarthy tells Republicans on a call just now that Trump told him he does bear some responsibility for the Capitol riots, per source.

“McCarthy tells Republicans on a call just now that Trump told him he does bear some responsibility for the Capitol riots, per source,” says this Politico reporter.
She also cites another Politico reporter confirming it as well:
And @Olivia_Beavers has a second source who confirms this as well.

Trump has yet to publicly make any statement like this.
Politico also reports that McCarthy encouraged Trump to call Biden and congratulate him. I seriously doubt that will happen.
