New Jersey Rep. Bill Pascrell Jr., one of Donald Trump’s fiercest critics on Capitol Hill, is demanding the president and his aides be investigated and prosecuted after they leave office.
Pascrell, D-9th Dist., said late Tuesday that a failure to do so would embolden “criminality by our national leaders” and continue "America down the path of lawlessness and authoritarianism.”
The congressman, re-elected Nov. 3, ticked off a litany of “innumerable crimes” that he said the president should be held accountable for.
“Donald Trump along with his worst enablers must be tried for their crimes against our nation and Constitution,” Pascrell said. “Failure to hold financial and political wrongdoing accountable
in the past has invited greater malfeasance by bad actors. A repeat of those failures in 2021 further emboldens criminality by our national leaders and continues America down the path of lawlessness and authoritarianism. There must be accountability.”
Pascrell has used Twitter, Trump’s favorite communications medium, to regularly bash the president and his aides.
