In his State of the Union address, President Joe Biden failed to expose the attack on the Capital on January 6, but less than a day later, Donald Trump, without naming his name, was forced to resign. Made the American face.
Biden said "Vladimir Putin was confident of being able to divide the United States," and went on to describe the Trump-inspired mob that attacked the capital with the aim of overturning the 2020 election.
"Look, how would you feel if you saw a mob breaking through the doors of the British Parliament, killing five policemen, injuring 145 - or seeing the German Bundestag or the Italian Parliament? I think you would be surprised," he said. Said. "Well, that's what the rest of the world saw. It's not who we are. And now, under pressure, we are proving that we are not that country. We are united."
Remarkable remarks at the University of Wisconsin-Superior Student Union came just 18 hours after Biden made no mention of the January 6 attack in his hour-long State of the Union address to Congress and the nation.
Polls show that Americans are no longer as concerned about trying to keep Trump in power as they were immediately afterwards. In fact, Americans in general, and even more Republicans and independents, are less inclined to believe that Trump was responsible for the attack than a year ago.
Republican Politer Neil New house said Biden is unlikely to work if he expects interest to rise on January 6.
"The events of January 6 are already etched in the minds of voters, and I find it hard to believe that any new revelations will affect attitudes in any way.
Or someone else, "he said." This is especially true when Americans focus on other current events and issues, such as Ukraine, inflation, crime and the economy.
Perhaps praising where public sentiment is today, Biden did draw a clear link between January 6 and Putin's invasion of Ukraine. He said Putin assumed that his long efforts to sow the seeds of division in the West, including the United States, would prevent him from occupying Russia's neighbor.
"We have succeeded in ensuring that we keep Europe united and the free world united," Biden said. "I think he did what he did because he thought he could divide NATO, divide Europe and divide the United States. We're going to show the world that No one can divide this country.
White House Deputy Press Secretary Crane Jean-Pierre told reporters Wednesday that Biden did not discuss January 6 in his State of the Union address. Including a long speech on the occasion of his first anniversary. Attack earlier this year.
A White House official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Biden would continue talks as needed on January 6. And Press Secretary Jane Sickie, responding to a question about the House committee on Thursday, January 6, reiterated Biden's earlier statements that January 6 was a unique day in the country's history because of the current president. It was a dangerous event, and it was needed. Is treated as such.
Trump, who is now under investigation in various jurisdictions for post-election activities, was elected in 2016 with Putin's open support. The Russian leader's secret services stole documents from Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton's campaign and made them available. Trump used the material daily during the last month before election day, even though he knew it had been stolen by Putin's spies.
According to both Special Counsel Robert Mueller and the Senate Intelligence Committee, Putin also launched a propaganda campaign using social media to create false stories about Clinton in order to upset the Democratic turnout.
Four years later, Russia was again working for Trump, and after his defeat helped to spread the lie that the election had been "stolen" from him - a lie that angered Trump's followers. Which led to a violent attack on January 6.
Since then, Russia's state media, "troll farms" and Putin himself have been spreading.
Trump claims that supporters arrested for participating in the day are "political prisoners" and are being treated unfairly.
Trump, despite losing 7 million votes nationally and 306-232 in the Electoral College, became the first president in more than two centuries to refuse to hand over power peacefully. His incitement to attack the Capital on January 6 - his last attempt at office - killed five people, including a police officer, wounded 140 other officers and led to four police suicides.
Despite its losses, this attempt to stay in power has sparked state and federal investigations.
The district attorney in Fulton County, Georgia, has focused on just one special grand jury to force Trump state officials to "find" enough votes to end Biden's loss in the state in 2020. ۔
And on January 6, the House committee is calling on as many former and current Trump aides as possible to determine their true role in today's events, while the Justice Department has confirmed that they will remain in power. Is investigating at least one element of Trump's scheme. Submission of fake Trump "selectors" indicates Biden has won
This week, the Jan. 6 committee filed a lengthy briefing in California federal court in a lawsuit filed by a pro-Trump lawyer who wrote a memo arguing that Vice President Mike Pence had declared Trump the winner. There was a one-sided ability to give. That lawyer, John Eastman, is now trying to block the release of his emails on the subject. In a 221-page document, the committee told the judge that the attorney could not cite the client's privilege of attorney, among other reasons, excepting the "crime fraud" rule.
The committee's lawyers wrote, "The select committee ... has good faith grounds to conclude that the president and members of his campaign are engaged in a criminal conspiracy to deceive the United States."
In response, Trump has called on his followers to "hold the biggest protests ever in Washington, DC, New York, Atlanta and elsewhere" if the prosecution follows them, "because our country and our The election is corrupt. "
Nevertheless, Trump is a dominant figure in the Republican Party and is openly talking about running for re-election in 2024.
