Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Wednesday said Donald Trump’s indictment on charges he attempted to overturn the 2020 presidential election are “heartbreaking” for the country. Trump on Thursday faces arraignment on four felony counts, including conspiracy to defraud the U.S. Special counsel Jack Smith said the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, was “fueled” by Trump’s ceaseless lies about election fraud. AdvertisementPelosi, who was inside the building when the former president’s supporters stormed the Capitol, said it was sad to watch an ex-president get accused of those kinds of crimes. “I’m so proud of them, their courage, their bravery, and the courage, really, of all of those who are making the case now,” Pelosi said. He has denied wrongdoing and claimed he is being victimized because of his 2024 presidential campaign.
