US President Joe Biden ruled on Friday that it would be “logical” for Donald Trump to comply with the subpoena to appear before the commission investigating the assault on Capitol Hill.
“I’m not going to give my opinion on what I should do,” the Democrat said in an interview with MSNBC.
But “it seems to me that it would be logical” for him to comply, he added, and said that the parliamentary commission had handled the case “very well.”
In a “historic” gesture, this panel summoned former President Donald Trump on Friday to appear “around November 14.”
Chaos scene at the White House
On January 6, 2021, hundreds of Donald Trump supporters, convinced by his accusations of “election fraud”, had wreaked havoc in the temple of American democracy, when elected officials certified the victory of Joe Biden.
The Republican, who had urged his supporters to “fight like hell,” was immediately impeached in Congress, but was acquitted thanks to senators from his party.
This did not end the case: in its final report, the commission could recommend that he be prosecuted. The decision will ultimately fall to Justice Minister Merrick Garland.
