What Alleged Crimes Could Donald Trump Be Charged With For Attack On Congress?
The Democratic presentation for the second impeachment of Donald Trump appeared so powerful that they seemed to prove, without any doubt, that allegedly Donald John Trump performed criminal acts. According to existing law, Donald J. Trump could be facing fines and imprisonment for 10 to 20 years.
He allegedly organized and incited the attack upon the capitol of the United State and individuals.
