\"Accused<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The former President of the United States of America, Donald Trump has been blamed by accused rioters who invaded Capitol Hill on the 6th of January for \u2018inspiring\u2019 the action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brandi Harden, the lawyer of one of the accused identified as Emanuel Jackson, who court filings describe as a \u201crecently homeless\u201d, wrote in a filing on Monday calling for pretrial release stating that Trump<\/a> \u201croused the crowd by telling them \u2018we will stop the steal\u2019 and \u2018you\u2019ll never take back our country with weakness, you have to show strength, and you have to be strong \u2026 if you don\u2019t fight like hell you are not going to have a country any more\u2019\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As such, \u201cthe nature and circumstances of this offense must be viewed through the lens of an event inspired by the President of the United States\u201d, Harden wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other defendants who accused Trump of inspiring the invasion include; Jacob Chansley, also known as Jake Angeli, the \u201cQAnon Shaman\u201d who donned a horned headdress and face paint during the attack, and Dominic Pezzola, a member of the Proud Boys right-wing group who is accused of shattering a window in the Capitol with a stolen police shield so rioters could enter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This came days after the newly elected President of the United States of America, Joe Biden said in a US media interview that Trump should not continue to receive intelligence briefings normally available to former presidents because of his \u201cerratic\u201d behaviour<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
