Former president Donald Trump’s repeated attacks on the House January 6 select committee and former vice president Mike Pence are tantamount to admissions that he violated multiple federal laws during his push to overturn the will of voters after losing the 2020 election to Joe Biden, Maryland Representative Jamie Raskin has said.
Mr Raskin, a select committee member who was the lead House manager during Mr Trump’s second impeachment, said Mr Trump more or less confessed to multiple crimes in myriad posts on his Truth Social platform and in a Friday speech to the Faith and Freedom Coalition’s annual conference, during which he mocked Mr Pence for having been a “conveyor belt” during the 6 January 2021 certification of Mr Biden’s victory.
