Former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner believes Donald Trump might be indicted for treason, he said on Friday.
Kirschner, speaking in an interview with MSNBC, said Trump launched « an armed attack on the Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of presidential power, » per Newsweek.
« Let’s not forget about that little crime that may actually amount to treason, » he said.
The Capitol riot left five people, including one police officer, dead. Members of the Proud Boys, which is classified as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, were also present.
Organizers were emboldened by former President Donald Trump’s urges to protest the results of the 2020 election with him, despite Joe Biden’s election victory.
