Trump calls the commission investigating the assault on the US Capitol a "mockery of justice"

He reiterates his accusations about "fraud" in the 2020 elections and says that the US "is suffering"

MADRID, 14 Jun. (EUROPA PRESS) -

Former United States President Donald Trump has called the House of Representatives commission that is in charge of investigating the assault on the Capitol on January 6, 2021, a "mockery of justice" and a "parody of trial", when a mob of hundreds of his supporters stormed the building to try to prevent Joe Biden's electoral victory from being ratified in the November 2020 elections.

"Our Constitution protects the right to face those who accuse, honors the right to a fair trial and reflects the right to legal representation as the main element of the justice system," he said in a twelve-page statement. "The committee has trashed these rights and is making a mockery of justice."

"They have refused to allow their political opponents to participate in this process and have excluded all exculpatory witnesses or anyone who readily points to flaws in their narrative," Trump said, adding that "witnesses to 'Make America Great Again' -- their campaign slogan -- were questioned behind closed doors and their testimony ordered not to be recorded."

Thus, he has assured that "members of his staff, friends, followers, volunteers and donors were subjected to hours of inquisition, often unrelated to January 6." "Their lives were turned upside down for obvious reasons", she has pointed out, while she has denounced that "they were silenced, threatened and sometimes ruined".

Trump has stressed that "this pseudo-committee has coordinated with its puppets in the media to broadcast its witnesses on national television without opposition, cross-questioning or evidence that disproves its claims. The American public has a right to know the truth and to see everyone witnesses, but these corrupt officials are trying to force-feed the population with their political spectacle," he criticized.

For this reason, the members of the investigation committee have been asked "what are they afraid of" and have questioned "why they hide evidence and only show information that favors the history of the Democrats." "They are afraid of losing the narrative because their political opponents could easily show that the committee is lying to the nation and has stripped Americans of their rightful power," she argued.

"The Democrats created the narrative of January 6 to hide the much larger and important truth that the 2020 election was rigged and stolen," he said, reiterating his unsubstantiated accusations of alleged voter fraud to give Biden victory. "Politicians from both parties, but primarily Democrats, worked with members of the business elite to take away from Americans our right to choose our own leaders," she reiterated.

"During election night, the United States saw my lead (in votes) grow over Biden and I was headed for another victory. On the morning of November 4, the day after the election, I was winning by 700,000 votes in Pennsylvania, 1.3 millions in Michigan and hundreds of thousands in Georgia, Arizona and Wisconsin. Then the same 'little dictators' who destroyed the separation of powers made the treacherous decision to suspend the recount," he said.

In this sense, he has denounced that "these states, which had counted millions of ballots in one day, had to stop counting to count a few hundred thousand ballots for the next four days before giving the final results on November 7. ". "They needed time to traffic in ballots and manipulate the results of the elections," she pointed out.

For this reason, Trump has argued that "this farce" by the investigation committee "is a brazen attempt to divert the public's attention from the truth." "The truth is that Americans flocked to Washington on January 6 to hold elected officials accountable for the obvious signs of criminal activity during the election," he said.

Trump has also stressed that the United States "is suffering" and that the economy "has gone down the drain." "Inflation is out of control. Gas prices are at record highs. Ships can't unload. Families can't get powdered milk. We are an embarrassment to the world. Our withdrawal from Afghanistan was a disaster that cost precious American blood and gave our enemies $85 billion in the form of the best military equipment in the world."

"Millions and millions of illegal people are marching to the border and invading our country. We have a White House in the middle of chaos and the Democrats have said this week that Biden is not in a position to run for re-election," he said. "What is the Democratic Congress focused on? In a sham trial, hoping to distract the American people from the great pain they suffer," he has criticized.

Finally, the former president has pointed out that "17 months after the events of January 6, the Democrats are incapable of offering solutions." "They are desperate to change the narrative of a failed nation, not even mentioning the chaos and death caused by the radical left a few months earlier. Make no mistakes. They control the government. The disaster is their fault. They are willing the views to change." in some way their failed expectations", he settled.
