Trump’s Followers Paying The Price For Jan. 6 While Trump Himself Evades Consequence

Ashli Babbitt was killed at the Capitol and hundreds of others face criminal records and prison for taking part in Trump’s attempt to overthrow democracy.
WASHINGTON ― Ashli Babbitt is dead because of Donald Trump’s election lies. Many hundreds of her fellow insurrectionists who attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 will own criminal records for the rest of their lives, with a significant number facing prison time, also because they believed the former president’s falsehoods that the 2020 presidential election had been stolen from him. Trump himself, meanwhile, has thus far escaped any legal consequence for his attempt to overthrow American democracy, despite a federal law that specifically makes inciting an insurrection against the government a felony.More Related News
