Senate Republican Mitch McConnell delivers a scathing criticism of Donald Trump despite voting to acquit the former president on an impeachment charge, saying he was "responsible" for the January 6 assault on the US Capitol. SOUNDBITE
Washington, Feb 8 (EFE).- Holed up in his boss's office in the US Capitol, Remmington Belford heard shouting and banging but had to turn on the television to find out what was happening: a mob had invaded one of the world's most secure places and the instigator of the violence was none other than President Donald Trump, who is now facing impeachment because of his actions before and during the Jan. 6 assault on Capitol Hill.
A Missouri woman has been charged with five counts for taking a splintered nameplate belonging to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Newser reports Emily Hernandez committed the deed during the January 6th riot at the US Capitol. Hernandez was charged, among other crimes, with disorderly conduct and the stealing or disposing of government property. The FBI received online tips from at least three people saying they saw Hernandez in TV news footage. She was filmed holding up a broken engraved piece of wood bearing the words 'House' and 'Nancy' during the storming of the Capitol.
If Joe Biden is elected president, outgoing President Donald Trump is likely to have more days in court than he ever dreamed possible. Lacking his current presidential protections, Trump will face multiple investigations over whether he committed fraud in his businesses--and as an individual. According to CNN, Trump also faces defamation lawsuits sparked by his denials of accusations made by women who have alleged he assaulted them. If Trump wins, he may be able to run out the statute of limitations, which for some crimes in New York state law is five to six years. Or, he could simply continue enjoying the DOJ's Office of Legal Counsel opinion that says a sitting president can't be indicted.
The US Senate Judiciary Committee approves Brett Kavanaugh, Donald Trump's pick for the Supreme Court, one day after he fought off allegations of sexual assault at a dramatic day-long public hearing. IMAGES
