Supporters of ex-US President Donald Trump are openly toying with the idea of carrying out a serious attack on the Capitol in Washington, according to police. Members of the militia „have expressed their wish that they want to blow up the Capitol and kill as many members of Congress as possible,“ said the acting chief of the police in charge of the parliament, Yogananda Pittman, yesterday.
The upcoming speech by Trump’s successor Joe Biden in front of both chambers of congress has been named as the time for the project. A specific date has not yet been set for this annual address, in which the President traditionally expresses himself on the state of the nation. It usually takes place in the first few months of the year.
In light of the findings, it is advisable to maintain the increased security measures, said Pittman. The people who spoke up were members of the militia who were already there when the Capitol was attacked on January 6th. At the time, Trump supporters had swarmed the Capitol with the intention of preventing Senators and MPs from officially confirming Biden’s victory in the presidential election. Several people died in the unprecedented attack that caused horror around the world.
