UNITED STATES – Donald Trump and his allies have been involved in criminal activities in an attempt to cancel the 2020 presidential election, the House of Representatives committee responsible for investigating the US Capitol attack by a crowd of supporters of the former president.
The commission has enough evidence to “conclude in good faith that the president and members of his campaign were involved in a criminal conspiracy to defraud the United States,” she wrote in a brief statement received from several US media outlets.
The commission’s statements do not form its final conclusion, as the investigation is still ongoing. This is no less humiliating against Donald Trump, who is struggling to cling to power after losing to Joe Biden.
“Conspiracy to commit a crime”
The commission prepared its report after a request from the court for access to documents by right-wing lawyer John Eastman, US media reported.
This ally of Donald Trump is the one who wrote a well-known note outlining how he says Vice President Mike Pence could block MPs from attesting to Joe Biden’s election victory over Donald Trump in what would normally be a session. A routine for Congress on January 6, 2021. Mike Pence eventually refused to do so.
The Commission finds that this act violates US law, which criminalizes “conspiracy to commit a crime against the United States or to defraud the United States or one of its agencies in any way or for any purpose.”
Donald Trump, then one of Twitter’s most powerful users, spent months – and long before the election – instilling in his tens of millions of subscribers the idea that the election could be rigged. On January 6, just before the deadly attack on the Capitol, he again criticized alleged election fraud during a White House meeting and called on the crowd to “fight.”
The Republican faced a second impeachment lawsuit after the Capitol attack, but was acquitted by the Senate, which tried him for “inciting an uprising.” Despite disagreements and growing domestic opposition, he still dominates the Republican Party and regularly hints at his desire to run for a second term in 2024.
