WASHINGTON, Feb 14, 2021 (BSS/AFP) – President Joe Biden said Saturday that
despite Donald Trump’s acquittal in the US Capitol insurrection trial the
charges against him are not in dispute and the attack shows “democracy is
fragile.”
“While the final vote did not lead to a conviction, the substance of the
charge is not in dispute,” Biden said after the Senate voted 57-43 to acquit
Trump in his second impeachment trial.
“This sad chapter in our history has reminded us that democracy is fragile.
That it must always be defended. That we must be ever vigilant,” Biden said
in a statement after Trump’s trial on charges he incited the mob that overran
Congress on January 6.
