This week the person who occupied the White House for 4 years before President Biden returned to Washington for the first time since he left. Since that time, he has been found guilty of sexual abuse with E. Jean Carroll, and he has been found in defamation of E. Jean Carroll on two different occasions for nearly $100 million. He has been found to be fraudulently projecting his income and liabilities in his businesses in New York and the State to the tune of about a $480 million civil judgment. He has also been found guilty of a felony in New York State 34 times. What he also did before he left was he led an assault on this Capitol, on this government. I was up there in the balcony when they were beating on the doors, and we were told to get out for our lives and put on gas masks. Gunfire was in this room. Four officers were killed or died because of that insurrection against our government. Trump didn't come here to apologize to the Capitol Police, who put their lives on the line, which he should have. It is unfortunate. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair would remind Members to refrain from engaging in personalities toward presumptive nominees for the Office of the President. ____________________
