Democrats in the U.S. House are considering reintroducing legislation to determine if Donald Trump should be barred from running for federal office due to his involvement in the Capitol insurrection.
Congressman Jamie Raskin plans to revive this effort with colleagues like Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Eric Swalwell.
“I’m working with a number of my colleagues including Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) and Eric Swalwell (D-CA) to revive legislation that we had to set up a process by which we could determine if someone who committed insurrection is disqualified by Section III of the 14th Amendment,” Raskin said.
The Supreme Court’s recent ruling has fueled anti-Trump sentiments, leading to continued legal actions against him.
A select committee investigated Trump’s role in the insurrection, concluding that he incited violence.
“The House of Representatives already impeached Donald Trump for participating in insurrection by inciting it,” Raskin added.
House Republicans, now in power, are challenging this narrative and investigating the FBI’s actions on that day.
They claim to have uncovered discrepancies and lies in the committee’s report and are seeking undisclosed documents for further examination.
“We’ve uncovered a lot of evidence that is contrary to what they were telling us. There are not only flaws in their report; there are some flat-out lies in the report,” Rep. Barry Loudermilk said.
“And the further we go down this path, the more that we’re uncovering. Probably one of the biggest things I think that we saw happen in the last year that we discovered had happened was the number of documents that were not preserved and were not passed along to our committee as the House Rules mandated.”
“We are going to find these documents. And the reason it’s important is because I believe it’s what’s in those documents, which is why they don’t want us to see it,” he said.
