“A federal judge ruled Monday that former President Donald Trump ‘more likely than not’ attempted to illegally obstruct Congress when he tried to subvert the 2020 election on Jan. 6, 2021,” Politico reports.
Said U.S. District Court Judge David Carter, in an opinion: “Based on the evidence, the Court finds it more likely than not that President Trump corruptly attempted to obstruct the Joint Session of Congress on January 6, 2021.”
He added: “It was a coup in search of a legal theory.”
More: “Trump’s plan had worked, it would have permanently ended the peaceful transition of power, undermining American democracy and the Constitution.”
