Pelosi Takes Aim at Trump AgainAt a Capitol ceremony for a plaque honoring Capitol Police, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi used part of her remarks to return to January 6 and blame President Trump for the riot at the Capitol. She said the plaque would stand as a tribute to officers who protected Congress, then repeated her view that Trump incited an insurrection. Trump was never charged with insurrection, which is one of those small details Washington tends to leave in the hallway.The Security Fight Never Went AwayThe bigger argument around January 6 still has plenty of life.
