(ETH) – Things aren’t getting any better these days for President Donald Trump since the recent riots in DC and now the attorney general of Washington D.C. is reportedly considering charging President Trump with inciting the violent attack on the Capitol building carried out by his supporters.
The report states that D.C. Attorney General Karl Racine is weighing charges against the president stemming from the Jan. 6th attack on the Capitol. The report states that Racine is taking an “expansive view of his powers” by claiming that charging the president is within his purview — rather than that of federal prosecutors.
“There is a limitation on what the attorney general’s office can really do here in Washington, D.C,” Perez said. “All criminal prosecutions generally are handled by the U.S. attorney.”
Racine recently told Fox News, “My office [has] jurisdiction for a charge called ‘inciting violence’ … [we’re] going to be thorough … we’re going to go where the facts lead. If any individual incited violence, then we’ll go there.”
