Moreover, In a statement, Biden blamed Trump for the “armed insurrection” by his supporters. He called it “an unprecedented assault on our democracy ... unlike anything we have witnessed in the 244-year history of our nation.”
“This criminal attack was planned and coordinated,” Biden added.
On Thursday, US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced that outgoing President Donald Trump’s impeachment confirmed that,’ No one in the country is above the law.’
“Today in a bipartisan way the House demonstrated that no one is above the law, not even the president of the United States,” Pelosi said at a ceremony during which she signed the article of impeachment.
“He must go. He is a clear and present danger to the nation that we all love,” she added.
The US House of Representatives majority has voted for Trump’s impeachment over the latest Capitol riots. This move made Trump the first US President to be impeached twice.
last week, supporters of Donald Trump stormed a congressional session held to endorse Joe Biden’s victory, as a last-minute desperate attempt by Trump to reverse his election loss led to chaos and accusations of an attempted “coup.”
Officials at the U.S. Capitol building announced the closure, and lawmakers said on Twitter that they were sheltering in their offices, as protesters – some of them carrying Trump flags – were seen walking through the building.
These riots resulted in the death of 5 people and the arrest of 68 others.
