Pelosi has specified that the role played by the members of Congress she refers to, without naming them, was specified in support of Trump’s false claims about the election.
Likewise, it has indicated that it is necessary to know whether the lawmakers who allegedly helped and encouraged the attack on the building, which housed the two houses of the United States Congress, initiated the incident in a way that would encourage legal action. requires.
“I am very pleased that we are going to conduct an a posteriori analysis that will evaluate many aspects (…) if people helped and were complicit, there will be more than comments from their colleagues here, there will be prosecution if they helped and were complicit in an uprising in which people died, ” he said at a press conference, as reported by the television network CNN.
The attack on the Capitol, which took place when Congress upheld President Joe Biden’s victory in the Nov. 3 election, left five dead. It has also led to the Pelosi-chaired chamber bringing a new charge against Trump for “ inciting insurrection. ”
