As the House select panel works to focus attention on what it says was an illegal scheme backed by Donald Trump to overturn the results of the 2020 elections, a new poll shows most Americans believe the former president should face charges.
WASHINGTON - A new round of hearings this week by the congressional committee probing the 6 January 2021 US Capitol riot promises further drama, with one member saying former vice president Mike Pence might be subpoenaed.
Pence faced intense pressure from Trump to break with history and refuse on 6 January to formally certify Biden's victory. "In a time of absolutely scandalous betrayal of people's oaths of office and crimes being committed all over the place, somebody who does their job and sticks to the law will stand out as a hero."The committee, in hearings Tuesday and Thursday, will also explore "how a similar pressure campaign directed against state and local elections officials put their lives in danger."
Adam Kinzinger - one of two Republicans on the House committee, and one of 10 who voted last year to impeach Trump because of the insurrection - said Sunday he had received a menacing message only days ago.Trump remains as divisive a political figure as ever, inspiring furious loyalty among followers and equally passionate disdain from his critics.
