Biden urged to unleash DOJ on Trump for Capitol riot and election interference: report

Raw Story  

According to a report at the Daily Beast, before he is even sworn in, President-elect Joe Biden is already facing increasing pressure to unleash the Department of Justice to investigate outgoing President Donald Trump for his part in instigating the riot at the U.S. Capitol that left five dead and attempting to interfere with the vote counts in Georgia. Despite thepledge from Biden, the Beast is reporting, " hasn't stopped Democrats from urging that his incoming DOJ investigate and potentially prosecute the man who inspired an insurrection at the Capitol earlier this month. "The shock of the domestic terrorism, nonetheless, inspired some party officials to consider ways to encourage leaders to demand accountability, citing the need to reestablish a culture of consequences that will outlast Trump's time in office," the report states. "The former president has not offered any regret for cozying up to his old Attorney General Bill Barr and subsequently turning on him after he refused to engage in factless musings about national voter fraud."
