On Wednesday night, Attorney General Pam Bondi received criticism from the media regarding the Insurrection Act and whether the Trump administration may retaliate against protesters.
What is the threshold for using the Insurrection Act, and can you define some of the discussions that have already taken place on this particular subject? Bondi was questioned by a media representative outside the White House.
President Donald Trump, Bondi’s manager, said on Tuesday,” If there’s an insurrection, I would definitely summon it,” not rule out using the action against demonstrators in Los Angeles or somewhere if necessary.
Following the Jan. 6 Capitol riots four years ago, Bondi was left with thorny questions about what Trump meant and whether he had any trust.
Another writer said,” This ask that again.” What is the level to invoke the Insurrection Act? Beyond California Are you seeing instances of this in various cities where the leader might have to take it into account?
Bondi claimed that the Department of Justice is using the Hobbs Act, which criminalizes bribery and robbery in interstate commerce, and that some other cities, like New York City, have handled protests better than California.
” We’re at a good place right now in California,” Bondi said. ” We’re not afraid to expand.” We’re never afraid to do something else if we have to.
Democrats have referred to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot as “insurrection,” and the Colorado Supreme Court has declared that Trump is unsuitable for senator because the 14th Amendment prohibits insurrectionists from holding office. The Supreme Court after overturned that judgment.
A reporter questioned Bondi, saying,” You’ve been accused of having a double standard with the senator pardoning all these people who attacked police officers on January 6 in his first time in office.” How do you respond to criticism?
Trump uses the Insurrection Act to halt demonstrations in Los Angeles by using glides.
Bondi claimed that the two circumstances were “very unique.”
She said,” These are people who are currently hurting persons in California.” This is going on. No more. We will keep them safe. In California, we’ll do everything in our power to sue violent offenders.
