House Republicans Unanimously Declare Trump Did Not Incite Insurrection
More than 60 House Republicans, led by Representatives Matt Gaetz and Elise Stefanik, have signed onto a resolution declaring that former President Donald Trump "did not engage in insurrection" on Jan. 6, 2021, in an effort to influence courts and state election officials who are considering his eligibility to hold office under the 14th Amendment. The issue is casting a cloud over the primary season as Trump closes in on the Republican nomination, with Senator J.D. Vance introducing a companion measure in the Senate.
