Democratic Rep. Bill Pascrell is demanding that the Department of Justice launch an investigation into the Trump administration.
“Tonight, I’m calling for the eventual prosecution of Donald Trump and his enablers for their many crimes against the United States,” Pascrell wrote on Twitter.
The congressman says that the president and members of his administration have committed crimes against the country and must be held accountable.
"He has endangered our national security. He ripped families apart. He poisoned the Census. He has profited from his office. He has attacked our elections and sought to throttle democracy...Donald Trump along with his worst enablers must be tried for their crimes against our nation and Constitution,” Pascrell said in a statement.
Pascrell said that if the president had “a shred of dignity he would resign today.”
The president has not yet conceded the 2020 presidential election to Joe Biden although Biden leads in electoral votes. The president has made unsubstantiated claims that there were fraudulent votes in the election.
