Speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi called for the process of impeachment of former US President Donald Trump to continue. The Independent reports.
Pelosi noted that this is necessary, even if there is a threat to alienate Republican voters. She believes that Democrats and Republicans cannot be united “if you just forget about everything and move on.”
Pelosi also added that the former American leader committed “an act of incitement to rebellion”.
Earlier it was reported that the new US President Joe Biden left the Senate with the right to decide the issue of impeachment to Donald Trump.
On January 14, the US House of Representatives voted to impeach Trump over the recent riots in Washington. The debate lasted over seven hours. 232 legislators voted in favor of impeachment due to incitement to insurrection, against 197. This vote was the second attempt to remove Trump from office.
