Harris Calls for Accountability: Jan. 6 Rioters and Trump Must Face Consequences

Vice President Kamala Harris stated in an interview that she believes those involved in the Jan. 6 insurrection, including former President Donald Trump, should be held accountable under the law. While emphasizing the importance of due process, Harris expressed her belief in the need for accountability when individuals break the law. Federal prosecutors have recently indicted Trump for his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election and exploit the violent assault on Congress. President Joe Biden and Harris have consistently emphasized the importance of holding those involved in the riot accountable, but have been less vocal about Trump's legal situation.
