After the 2020 U.S. election, the then U.S. President Trump refused to recognize the results of the election. The subsequent riots at the U.S. Capitol aroused widespread attention from the international community, and the U.S. government subsequently began to investigate the incident. According to the latest news, US House of Representatives Representative Raskin emphasized in a recent interview that Trump may be prosecuted and convicted for his actions during the Capitol riots. The relevant news quickly attracted widespread attention after it was announced, which means that Trump may even be imprisoned for the crime.
According to media reports, after the original Capitol riots, the U.S. House of Representatives established a special investigative committee, and Raskin was a member of the committee. The committee included 7 Democrats and 2 Republicans. Raskin mentioned in the interview that the U.S. government needs to have a very clear understanding of the current situation. It not only needs to hold accountable those who charged in the Capitol riots, but also needs to pay attention to the leaders of the riots. Ruskin stressed that it would be a serious mistake to allow the ringleaders to go free while only a few hundred of the chargers were sent to jail. Raskin then said that if Trump is prosecuted for his actions during the Capitol riots and convicted, it is very likely that he will spend the rest of his life in prison.
The U.S. House of Representatives Investigation Committee recently released its final investigation report. This investigation report was successfully completed after more than ten months. The report clearly mentioned Trump's role in the Congressional riots, how he promoted this action and attempted to overturn the 2020 U.S. election, etc. The investigative committee also recommended that the Justice Department bring charges against Trump, including inciting or assisting an insurrection, conspiring to defraud the federal government, conspiracy to make false statements and obstruction of an official proceeding. It is reported that the recommendations of the Special Investigation Committee are only symbolic, and subsequent actions still need to be decided by the U.S. Department of Justice. However, this is still the first time in history that the U.S. Congress has made recommendations to the U.S. Department of Justice, hoping to initiate criminal proceedings against a former president.
After the relevant news was announced, Trump quickly responded strongly. Trump believed that the investigative committee did not find out the true situation of congressional timing and election fraud. Such behavior was a full manifestation of "partisan politics" and a "witch hunt" launched against him. Trump later believed that such behavior wanted to prevent him from returning to the White House , but "things that don't kill me will only make me stronger." Trump's team even emphasized that the work of the investigative committee was a "show interrogation" and their actions were an "image project that satirizes the democratic system."
