Donald Trump stressed, the Jan. 6, 2021, Electoral Committee responsible for investigating the January 6, 2021 attack on Congress should investigate why his deputy, Mike Pence, did not cancel the results of the electoral colleges for the 2020 presidential election during Trump’s presidency.
According to Pak Sahafat news agency, according to Hill Base, President Donald Trump, in a statement issued by the United States Committee on Political Action, also said that if House Speaker Nancy Pelosi advised him to increase security on the ground The US Congress building was working for that day, the violence of January 6, 2021 could have been stopped.
Trump added: If the votes of the Electoral College had been sent to the legislature, or if Nancy Pelosi, as the person in charge of the security of the US Congress, had followed my advice and significantly increased the security measures, the “January 6” as we know it would not have happened.
He added: So that “unelected” committee should investigate why Nancy Pelosi acted so poorly in overseeing security and why Mike Pence re-voted to reaffirm or re-certify while clearly having the right to do so.
The former president also criticized efforts in Congress to amend the 1887 Electoral Counting Act as a law explaining how votes are counted. He reiterated that bipartisan efforts to amend the law showed that Mike Pence had the ability to reject the results of the Electoral College; the argument he made in another statement a few days ago.
During his argument, Trump appears to have targeted the Jan. 6 elected committee, although the committee has clearly made no attempt to change the law, contrary to what Trump said.

Trump said in a statement: It is remarkable to see that an unelected committee of liars, traitors, and political mercenaries worked so hard to change the Electoral College Act that a vice president could not guarantee an honest election result, whereas just a year ago, according to the vice president, “The republic has absolutely no right to guarantee the correct outcome of an election.”
He added: In other words, they lied and the vice president had the right, or more precisely, he could return the votes to various legislators for re-evaluation after all these frauds and violations.
Trump’s statement comes two days after the former US president admitted that he wanted Pence to cancel the results of the 2020 presidential election.
“Unfortunately, Pence did not use that authority,” he wrote in a separate statement, adding: “He could have canceled the election!”
The remarks come as efforts to amend the counting law in Congress intensify. A group of Senate Democrats on Tuesday unveiled a bill that would amend the 1887 Act.
