Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said that previous president Donald Trump radiated no blowing or self-confidence as he appeared in Washington DC for his arraignment on federal charges today.
Ms Pelosi led the House of Representatives throughout both of Mr Trump’s impeachments, initially for his effort to condition help to Ukraine on freshly chosen President Volodymyr Zelensky examining Joe Biden’s boy Hunter, and after that in 2021 for his actions throughout the January 6 insurrection.
Mr Trump appeared at the E Barrett Prettyman Courthouse on Thursday and pleaded innocent to 4 charges originating from his effort to reverse the 2020 governmental election outcomes.
During his arraignment, Mr Trump appeared to stumble over his words when asked to specify his complete name and appeared rather sombre compared to his other arraignments in New York and Miami.
Ms Pelosi, who stepped aside from Democratic House management previously this year after Republicans won the bulk in the House of Representatives, informed Andrea Mitchell on MSNBC that Mr Trump did not have the self-confidence and blowing generally connected with the ex-president.
“I wasn’t in the courtroom, of course, but when I saw Trump coming out of his car and this or that, I saw a scared puppy,” Ms Pelosi said on Friday. “He looked very, very, very concerned about the fate. I didn’t see any bravado or confidence or anything like that. He knows the truth, that he lost the election and now he has to face the music.”
Ms Pelosi has actually mainly prevented talking about the previous president considering that he left workplace. During her goodbye address as House speaker, she discussed her deal with previous presidents George W Bush, a Republican, and Barack Obama, a Democrat, in addition to President Joe Biden. But she did not point out Mr Trump.
When the indictment was unsealed on Tuesday, Ms Pelosi credited the work of the January 6 choose committee that began under her speakership for causing the indictment.
“Now, following the Justice Department’s further investigation, a federal grand jury has indicted the former President,” she said. “As this case proceeds through the courts, justice must be done according to the facts and the law.”
