前总统川普面临司法挑战

国会特别委员会调查元月六日国会大楼暴乱案, 経过十个月调查后大约已经完成一半，他们试图证明前总统川普在导至叛乱之事件中触犯了几项联邦法律。

委员会声称，川普和他的团队试图阻挠国会宣佈拜登当选总统并参与欺骗美国的犯罪阴谋，他曾要求时任副总统彭斯停止在国会认証选举结果。

前司法部长巴尔在作証时说，川普已经脱离现实指的是川普认為存在选民欺诈，尽管他的顾问告诉他没有。

自从元月六日国会暴乱以来，政府已经逮捕了八百多人后已经有二百八十人被定罪。

中期选举即将在十一月份到来，两党之攻防战将更激烈，我们自称是世界民主国家之老大，就连家中之事都还摆不平，真是令人遗憾。

Trump Might Be In A Legal Challenge

Former President Trump is facing a legal challenge.

After 10 months the House select committee on the investigation into the January 6 insurrection is about half of the way done. They are trying to prove that former President Trump violated several federal laws in the events leading up to the insurrection and its aftermath.

The committee stated that it has evidence to show that Trump and his campaign staff carried out an illegal and unconstitutional attempt to obstruct Congress’s election process of certifying Joe Biden’s victory and engaged in a criminal conspiracy to defraud the United States.

The committee does not have the authority to prosecute the former president, but it can make criminal reference to the Justice Department to build the case against him. But some legal specialists said the former president may have a strong legal defense.

The House select committee also indicated that Trump violated other laws by allegedly trying to obstruct and influence an official proceeding of the United States. Prosecutors could make a case that he broke this law by pressuring his then-Vice President Mike Pence to stop Congress’s election certification process by telling his followers that the election was “criminal” and to march on the Capitol where the certification process was about to start.

Since the January 6 insurrection, the government has apprehended more than 800 individuals in connection with the attack on the Capitol. More than 280 of them have been charged with corruptly obstructing and influencing an official proceeding.

Former Attorney General William Barr testified to the committee that Trump had become “detached from reality,” referring to Trump’s belief that there was voter fraud despite his advisors telling him there was no fraud.

This political drama really is telling us how politics work in Washington, D.C.

Midterm elections are coming up. The two parties will be on the stage again to fight for victory. We claim to be a democratic country and the leader of the free world. We need to show the world how we handle our own elections.
