The assault on the Capitol on January 6, 2021 continues to pursue Donald Trump.

If the parliamentary inquiry is still underway, it does not take the turn hoped for by the former president, who was also uncooperative.

The commission now has enough evidence to "conclude in good faith that the president and his campaign members engaged in a criminal conspiracy to defraud the United States," she wrote in a brief obtained by several American media.

The commission drafted its brief following a court motion seeking access to documents from right-wing lawyer John Eastman, US media reported.

This ally of the former president is the one who penned a now-famous memo outlining how he says Vice President Mike Pence could block lawmakers from certifying Joe Biden's election victory over Donald Trump in what would ordinarily have been a routine session of Congress on January 6, 2021. In the end Mike Pence had backed down.

Donald Trump had called on the demonstrators to "fight"

But the commission believes the act violates a U.S. law that criminalizes "conspiring to commit an offense against the United States or to defraud the United States or any of its agencies in any manner or manner." for any purpose”.

A damning report for Donald Trump, who has long refused to admit defeat to Joe Biden, and whose role in triggering the deadly January 6 assault must be assessed.

For months, and even before the election, the Republican billionaire had instilled the idea in his tens of millions of Twitter followers that the election could be rigged, “stolen”.

And shortly before the start of the attack, he had castigated alleged electoral fraud during a meeting in front of the White House and called on the crowd to "fight".

Donald Trump faced a second impeachment trial following the Capitol assault, but was acquitted by the Senate, which tried him for "inciting insurrection".
