FBI did not issue statement clearing president for Capitol insurrection
The federal law enforcement agency has not made such a statement. On Wednesday, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to impeach Trump for â incitement of insurrection.â
The president had urged his supporters to come to Washington on Jan. 6 to protest election results on the day Congress was set to certify Joe Biden as the winner of the 2020 presidential election.
At a rally that day, Trump made repeated calls to his supporters to fight. âIf you donât fight like hell, youâre not going to have a country anymore,â he said. As Trump was speaking, his supporters began storming the Capitol in what became a deadly siege. On a Jan. 7 press call with reporters, federal law enforcement made clear that they are looking into everyone who might have been involved with the attack on the Capitol.
