US President Joe Biden weighed in on the latest televised hearing by the bipartisan House panel investigating the January 6 insurrection at the Capitol. Biden said the latest testimony and video footage of what took place behind the scenes were “devastating.”
Speaking to reporters in Oregon Saturday during his campaigning for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Tina Kotek, Biden said the testimony and video footage of congressional leaders were “Devastating.” The US leader added that he has avoided commenting on the hearings as much as he could.
“I think it’s been devastating,” said Biden. “The case has been made, it seems to me, fairly overwhelming.”
“Any more I say about it, you…are going to ask me if I’m trying to influence the attorney general. I’m not. I’ve not spoken with him at all,” said the US leader, referring to Attorney General Merrick Garland, who has the authority to pursue criminal charges related to the January 6 insurrection.
Some of the video footage that was shown during the hearing was documentary footage taken by the daughter of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. One of the clips showed Pelosi on a call with then-Vice President Mike Pence. Pence told Pelosi that his Secret Service detail thought they would attract more attention if they were spotted leaving the Capitol on that day.
The hearing last week marked the 10th public hearing, following eight hearings so far this year and one in July 2021. The panel also unanimously voted to issue a subpoena to Biden’s predecessor, Donald Trump.
Biden also criticized the economic plan of British Prime Minister Liz Truss, saying that it was a mistake. The US leader is known to criticize the concept of “trickle-down economics,” which is associated with Republicans.
The White House previously did not comment on the economic plan, which saw cuts to the 45 percent top tax rate.
“I wasn’t the only one that thought it was a mistake,” said Biden. “I think that the idea of cutting taxes on the super-wealthy at a time when – anyway, I just think – I disagreed with the policy, but that’s up to Great Britain to make that judgment, not me.”
