Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell took aim at former President Donald Trump when asked about his reaction to the House Jan. 6 panel’s criminal referral of the former president to the Justice Department on Monday.
The panel had said it uncovered evidence Trump pushed claims he knew were false about the 2020 presidential election in an effort to change the election’s outcome. Donald Trump has attacked McConnell since leaving the White House, calling the Senate Minority Leader a “disaster” and “broken down hack.”“There is no question that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of that day,” McConnell, who voted to acquit Trump because he was no longer in office, said.
