Pelosi told top general Trump should have been arrested on the spot for inciting Capitol insurrection, new book says
by Dan Mangan
CNBC, September 14, 2021
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told the top U.S. Army general that then-President Donald Trump was a dictator who should have been arrested on the spot after what she called his coup attempt to remain in the White House by inciting the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection, a new book reveals.
Pelosi also said during a phone call in January with Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Mike Milley that the Republicans have blood on their hands for enabling Trumps delusions about his ability to retain the presidency, the book says.
But it is a sad state of affairs for our country that weve been taken over by a dictator who used force against another branch of government, Pelosi, a California Democrat, told Milley during the call several days after the riot, according to Peril, a new book by Washington Post journalists Bob Woodward and Robert Costa.
