Congressman Cohen Welcomes Trump Indictment on January 6 Charges
Indictment connected with attempts to subvert the 2020 election
MEMPHIS – Congressman Steve Cohen (TN-9), a senior member of the Judiciary Committee who introduced an impeachment resolution and four times voted to impeach Donald Trump, today responded with the following statement after Trump was indicted for his connection to the January 6, 2021 insurrection:
“I was in the House Chamber when the rioters breached this sacred space, and feared for my life. Donald Trump encouraged a mob to come to D.C. on the day the Electoral College results were to be certified, saying it ‘will be wild,’ and once there to march on the Capitol. His purpose was to intimidate Congress and steal the election. No man is above the law. Donald Trump has been indicted by a jury of his peers for what is the most serious crime levied in our history.”
