House impeachment managers say Trump « singularly responsible » for Capitol attack
Washington — In a memorandum filed ahead of the second impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump, the House Democrats who will prosecute the case argued that Mr. Trump was « singularly responsible » for the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol by a mob of his supporters that left five people dead.
On January 6, a mob of insurrectionists overran the Capitol in a deadly assault with the goal of overturning the election results, as Congress met to reaffirm President Biden’s Electoral College victory. In a pre-trial brief filed Tuesday, the House impeachment managers make the case that Mr. Trump encouraged this attack by repeatedly refusing to concede the election while promoting baseless claims about voter fraud and encouraging his supporters to challenge the results.
« President Trump’s responsibility for the events of January 6 is unmistakable, » the managers said in their 80-page brief, adding that the former president’s « conduct must be declared unacceptable in the clearest and most unequivocal terms. »
