Donald Trump has reportedly voiced concern over the possibility of facing charges in connection with the January 6 Capitol riot which claimed five lives.

Even though Mitch McConnell voted to acquit the former president in the impeachment trial, the Senate Republican leader said Mr Trump was "practically and morally responsible" for what happened.

Mr Trump was not at risk of criminal prosecution while he was in the White House. But legal experts have argued that the exemption no longer applies once he has left office.

Despite speculation that he would seek to pre-emptively pardon himself before the end of his presidential term, Mr Trump did not do so.

by somebody. I like the idea that he's looking over his shoulder all the time, wondering whether they'll come for him on the golf course...

I would love for a Class Action suit be filed on behalf of the families of the Capitol and Metropolitan Police who suffered injuries and death at the hands of the Insurrectionists under the direction of Donald Trump. He should be held responsible for punitive damages that could be in the hundreds of millions of dollars in restitution.

OJ Simpson, while found NOT GUILTY in the death of his ex-wife, was found Guilty in a wrongful death civil lawsuit that resulted in restitution of over $35 million to the families of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman.

Karma has Trump in her sights.
