Missouri attorneys and a legal scholar say the takeover of the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters is the responsibility of the president and his allies in Congress, including U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley.
"It was a horrifying and shocking intrusion on the democratic process, plainly incited by the president of the United States," said Frank Bowman.
The MU law school's Student Bar Association has issued a statement calling for Hawley, a former professor there, to resign for his role in what it termed an attempted coup.
"In his relentless pursuit of power, Senator Hawley, a Yale-educated attorney, furthered President Trump's baseless election irregularity claims and committed sedition against the United States of America," the statement reads.
