Trump’s personal Twitter account has been blocked by Twitter since the 8th.
According to a press release issued by the newly established Office of former President Trump, “Today, the 45th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump officially inaugurated the Office of the former President.” “The office will be responsible for managing President Trump’s letters, public statements, attendance at official events and events to advance the interests of the United States and implement the Trump administration’s agenda through advocacy, organizing, and public action. “.
“President Trump will always be an advocate for the American people,” the press release read.
“Capitol Hill” reported that the title of former President Trump’s office may fuel speculation that Trump will not run for president again in 2024. At present, Trump and his advisers have yet to give a clear answer to this.
Trump has not appeared in public since leaving the White House on January 20 for the Sea Lake Estate in Florida. Since the congressional riots on January 6, Trump’s personal Twitter account has been banned and other major social media platforms have also suspended his account.
Within days of leaving office, Trump gave a brief interview to a Washington Observer reporter at his golf club, only to reveal: “We will do something, not now, but soon.” Then he did not elaborate.
Trump is preparing an impeachment defense team for the Senate impeachment on February 8.
The House of Representatives has submitted a second impeachment clause against Trump to the Senate at 7 pm on Monday (25). Senators will take the oath for trial on Tuesday (26) according to procedure.
On the 13th, the House of Representatives basically voted along party lines and passed the impeachment bill with 232 to 197 votes, alleging that former President Trump instigated a mob to attack the Capitol on January 6 and committed “serious crimes and misdemeanors”. ).
Trump became the only president to be impeached twice by the House of Representatives proposal. The Democratic-controlled House of Representatives passed the impeachment clause for the first time in 2019, accusing it of pressuring the Ukrainian president to investigate the Democratic presidential candidate. Biden (Joe Biden), committed “serious crimes and misconduct.”
The first impeachment case was suspended by the Democratic Party for 4 weeks and sent to the Senate. The second impeachment case will go to the Senate in less than 2 weeks. This term also includes the swearing in of President Biden and the Senate Hearing of Biden, several nominated cabinet members.
The second impeachment trial was not presided over by Chief Justice John Roberts, but by Patrick Leahy, a Democratic senator from Vermont, president of the Senate and chairman of the Judiciary Committee.
According to a statement released by Leahy on Monday afternoon: “When I preside over the impeachment of former President Trump, I will not shake my constitution and will swear my obligation to preside over the trial fairly in accordance with the Constitution and the law.”
Republicans believe this will create a conflict of interest, because Leahy voted in the first impeachment trial against Trump in February of last year and maintained that both Trump impeachment clauses were in place.
There are also Republicans who said the Senate should not impeach a former president, and only Chief Justice Roberts is qualified to preside.
