Donald Trump has claimed a US congressional inquiry’s damning recommendation he faces criminal charges over the Capitol riot will “strengthen” him - despite the Republican Party appearing slow to rally round the former president.
In a statement released on his Truth Social media platform after the Democratic-led committee voted unanimously for the justice department to prosecute him, he said: “These folks don’t get it that when they come after me, people who love freedom rally around me. It strengthens me. What doesn’t kill me makes me stronger.”
