Former Republican lawmaker says ‘Trump attempted to overturn the 2020 presidential election and seize power’ after he threatens to jail her and other committee members
In his weekend interview with NBC News where he said members of the January 6 committee should be jailed, Donald Trump also made clear that he planned to stick with his promise to pardon those charged over the attack on the Capitol. Here’s more, from the Guardian’s Michael Sainato: In his first sit-down television news interview since winning a second presidency in November’s election, Donald Trump renewed promises to pardon his supporters involved in the attack on the US Capitol in early 2021.
He also doubled down on promises of mass deportations and tariffs in the conversation with NBC’s Meet the Press host, Kristen Welker – the latter of which he acknowledged could cause Americans to pay more after riding voters’ complaints about higher prices back to the White House at the expense of Vice-President Kamala Harris. “I’m going to be acting very quickly. First day,” Trump said in the interview, claiming convicted Capitol attackers had been put through a “very nasty system”.
