The Pinellas County, Florida police office has indicated that the supporter of President Donald Trump captured while carrying the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, in a photograph of the Capitol Dam Wednesday, Adam Johnson, he was captured on the basis of a federal arrest warrant.
In the police photo of his arrest he appears without the bright smile he wore when he was photographed on January 6 during the capture of the Capitol by Trump supporters who had attended a rally of the president shortly before, who went to them. urge to march to the building that houses the two chambers of Congress.
Among other things, Trump told his followers that if they did not fight hard, they would no longer have “a country” and that the weak had to be left out because “the hour of strength” had come.
Johnson, 36, a Tampa resident, was arrested Jan. 8 and is on “waiting for trial,” according to the police record.
The file does not specify the charges for which he is charged. Johnson’s photograph of Pelosi’s atrium is one of the most published of the events at the Capitol, where five people died, one of them a police officer, and many were injured.
The assailants wreaked havoc on Congress headquarters and clashed with law enforcement in an episode that some lawmakers have defined. as an attempted coup and others as an “insurrection.”
The condemnation has been virtually unanimous and Trump has been blamed directly for the events as an instigator not only by Democrats, who have called for his removal, but by some Republicans.
Trump risks being subjected to a political trial, the second in his term, before Democrat Joe Biden takes over the U.S. presidency on Jan. 20 as the winner of the Nov. 3 election.
The current president does not accept the election results and claims without evidence that he was the victim of a massive fraud, which is why on January 6 he urged his supporters to march on the Capitol. That day in the legislative chambers the certification of Biden’s victory was carried out, which Trump describes as a “theft.”
Once the situation was under control, Congress resumed the session interrupted by the assault and certified Biden as president-elect on the morning of January 7th. Trump, accounts on Facebook and Twitter have been blocked to prevent incitement to violence, will not attend the investiture of Biden.
