MADRID, 21 (EUROPA PRESS)
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday that members of the U.S. Congress “provided help” to supporters of former President Donald Trump who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6 and did so. ” they felt comfortable. “
Pelosi has clarified that the role played by members of Congress to whom he has referred, without giving names, materialized in supporting Trump’s false statements about the election.
He also indicated that it is necessary to know whether lawmakers who allegedly helped and encouraged the assault on the building, which houses the two chambers of the U.S. Congress, instigated the incident in a way that requires a judicial process.
“I am very satisfied that we will carry out an a posteriori analysis that will evaluate many aspects (…) if people helped and were complicit there will be more than comments from colleagues here, there will be prosecution if they helped and they were complicit in an insurrection in which people died, “he told a news conference, CNN reported.
The assault on the Capitol, which took place when Congress certified the victory of President Joe Biden in the Nov. 3 election, left five dead. He has also led the camera chaired by Pelosi to initiate a new political trial (‘impeachment’) against Trump for “incitement to insurrection.”
In this regard, he has not specified the exact date on which the House of Representatives will send the relevant documentation to the Senate or when the political trial will take place. “In the coming days,” he nuanced, without providing further details and underlining his refusal to move forward when the process will begin.
“We have to wait for the Senate to resume its sessions. We have been informed (from the upper house) that they are ready to receive them, the matter is for other issues on how the trial will unfold, but we are prepared “, he added.
