Friday's event will mark a rare moment for Biden to wade into the live issues stoked by the deadly riot by supporters of his Republican predecessor Donald Trump. Their actions interrupted the certification of the Democrat's 2020 victory.

Biden has condemned the riot as a threat to democracy and the rule of law, but he rarely discusses his predecessor by name publicly and has framed his presidency around uniting and healing the country's partisan divides.

Soon to enter his third year in office, Biden has said he intends to seek another four-year term but has not formally announced his candidacy.

Trump, who never conceded defeat in the 2020 election, has already announced that he is seeking his party's nomination again in 2024.

Last month, the Democratic-led US House of Representatives panel probing the 2021 attack asked federal prosecutors to charge Trump with four crimes, including obstruction and insurrection. It was the first time in history that Congress had referred a former president for criminal prosecution.

Trump, who is facing two other federal probes, has dismissed the House investigation as partisan.

The former president gave a fiery speech to his supporters on the morning of Jan. 6, 2021, and publicly chastised then Vice President Mike Pence for not going along with his scheme to reject ballots cast for Biden.

Trump then waited hours before making a public statement as thousands of his supporters raged through the Capitol, assaulting police and threatening to hang Pence.

Five people, including a police officer, died during or shortly after the incident and more than 140 police officers were injured. The Capitol suffered millions of dollars in damage.

"A former president of the United States of America has created and spread a web of lies about the 2020 election. He's done so because he values power over principle," Biden said at an event at the Capitol last year marking the event, never speaking Trump's name. "He can't accept he lost."

Biden's schedule said Friday's ceremony would take place in the White House's East Room. No further details were provided.

Ready for future attack

US Capitol Police are prepared for any possible future attacks on Congress, its chief said on Monday.

"The current threat climate, particularly against elected officials, will require continued and heightened vigilance," US Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger said in a statement. "With the polarized state of our nation, an attack like the one our department endured on Jan. 6, 2021, could be attempted again. Should the unthinkable happen, we will be ready."

The bipartisan US House of Representatives panel’s 18-month probe ends as Trump's fellow Republicans take over the House majority on Tuesday having vowed to dissolve the panel and instead take on Biden, his administration and his son Hunter.

In releasing its last cache of documents on Monday, the Jan. 6 panel cited security concerns as Congress changes hands, sending some records to the White House and the Department of Homeland Security to review and return to the National Archives.

"As of next week when the Committee dissolves, the Committee will no longer exercise control over this material and thus cannot ensure enforcement of the commitment to maintain the confidentiality of the identity of the witnesses," wrote panel chairman Representative Bennie Thompson, a Democrat, and vice chair Representative Liz Cheney, a Republican.

Incoming US House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, in an MSNBC interview on Monday, said it was now up to the US Department of Justice "to now follow the facts, apply the law, [and] be guided by the Constitution."

About 900 people have been charged so far with taking part in the riot, including about 470 guilty pleas, according to a tally released last month by the department, which is conducting its own investigation into the attack.
