U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Tuesday that the legacy of outgoing President Donald Trump is “stronger” than the assault on the Capitol and stressed that “history will reflect the good of its Administration “.
The head of US diplomacy, who has been a staunch ally of the New York magnate, said the Trump administration would be “remembered for the good work the president and his team have done.”
In an interview with Salem radio station, Pompeo stated that “the actions will show that a good job was done in favor of the American people” and insisted that the riots and the assault on the Capitol ” they will not eclipse “everything else.
“What happened on Wednesday was terrible, and I have said on several occasions that the people who participated must be identified and brought to justice,” he said before stating that “they are criminals who must be treated as of “.
Pompeo has thus avoided issuing any criticism against Trump for his role in the context of the incidents that took place in Congress last week, even though the president has been accused of inciting “insurrection.”
