Federal prosecutors announced how Pro-trump rioters who carried out the attack on US Capitol could face 10-year sentences.
In addition, they shed light upon how President Donald Trump could also face potential charges for his recent role in inciting violence. Trump ordered his supporters to ‘march on the Congress.’ This was to stage a protest against the results of the US presidential election.
Meanwhile, the acting US Attorney, Micheal Sherwin, announced how there were plenty of options worth exploring on the table. This includes the various methods by which members could be charged for their role in carrying out a siege.
Shocking media reports pointed towards how the pro-Trump mob could face jail sentences that went up to 10 years. And this was under the President’s own executively designed laws, which aim to protect Federal property.
Sherwin explained to the Press how officials were looking at all sorts of actors across the board. This goes above and beyond those that entered the Capitol building, he explained. The statement came as a response to a question where one media person asked if Trump could possibly be included in the probe.
The fact that President Donald Trump led the siege, asking supporters to march on the Congress was wrong on so many levels. And since it fits the major elements of crime, he could face charges for his actions.

However, experts say that Trump can’t get charged while holding a position in the office. For that to take place, he needs to be out of his position of Presidency, when Biden gets inaugurated. With that said, authorities have every right to open up a new case and begin conducting an investigation.
