Gaetz introduces resolution to exonerate Trump from Jan. 6

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) is pushing to absolve Donald Trump of any blame for the Jan. 6 riot as some states seek to use the Capitol attack to keep the former president off the 2024 ballot.

Gaetz introduced a resolution on Tuesday that would “clarify the stance of the House of Representatives” to declare Trump “did not participate in actions that would bar him from again holding public office.” The resolution would expressly assert that Trump did not “engage in insurrection or rebellion against the United States.”
