In an MSNBC interview that aired Tuesday night, the House speaker accused Trump of inciting the deadly riot at the Capitol on January 6, which\u00a0left<\/a>\u00a0at least five people dead including a U.S. Capitol Police officer.<\/p>\n \u201cPresident\u2019s words are important, they weigh a ton,\u201d Pelosi\u00a0said<\/a>\u00a0of Trump. \u201cAnd if you\u2019re Donald Trump talking to these people, they believe it, and they used his words to come here.\u201d<\/p>\n The California lawmaker added that, if some members of Congress conspired with the people who stormed the Capitol, they too would be considered accessories to crimes committed during the riot.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen we talk about, \u2018Did any of our colleagues collaborate?\u2019 Well, that remains to be seen,\u201d Pelosi said.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have to get the evidence of that. And if they did, they would be accessory to the crime. And the crime, in some cases, was murder. And this president is an accessory to that crime because he instigated that insurrection that caused those deaths and this destruction,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n Several officials, including Washington, D.C., Attorney General Karl Racine, are looking into whether they should charge Trump with a crime in connection with the riots.<\/p>\n Pelosi is the first politician to claim Trump could be an accessory to murder.<\/p>\n The speaker\u2019s comments came hours before Trump\u2019s final moments in office and before President Joe Biden\u2019s inauguration Wednesday.<\/p>\n House Democrats, along with ten House Republicans,\u00a0voted<\/a>\u00a0to impeach Trump last week on a charge of inciting an insurrection. The vote marked the second time Trump was impeached during his term in office.<\/p>\n
