Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday called for “accountability” for the events of January 6, 2021, marking a notable departure from the White House’s policy of silence on former President Donald Trump’s legal issues.
“Let the evidence, the facts, take it where it may,” Harris told the Associated Press in an interview in Jakarta, Indonesia, where she is attending the US-ASEAN summit.
She continued, “I spent the majority of my career as a prosecutor. I believe that people should be held accountable under the law. And when they break the law, there should be accountability. And I support it when it happens.”
