'Trump is not above the law': NYT calls for prosecuting former president

MSN

In an editorial titled “Donald Trump Is Not Above the Law” on Friday, The New York Times editorial board called for the former president to be prosecuted.

This comes as the Justice Department is advancing a criminal investigation into highly classified documents improperly concealed by the former president at his Mar-a-Lago country club in Palm Beach, Florida — but, the board wrote, he should also face charges for his role in inciting the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol and his efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election.

“Mr. Trump’s unprecedented assault on the integrity of American democracy requires a criminal investigation,” wrote the board. “The disturbing details of his postelection misfeasance, meticulously assembled by the Jan. 6 committee, leaves little doubt that Mr. Trump sought to subvert the Constitution and overturn the will of the American people. The president, defeated at the polls in 2020, tried to enlist federal law enforcement authorities, state officials and administrators of the nation’s electoral system in a furious effort to remain in power. When all else failed, he roused an armed mob that stormed the Capitol and threatened lawmakers.”
