Former President Donald Trump appeared “scared” and lacking in his usual “bravado or confidence” when he arrived at a Washington D.C. courthouse for his arraignment on charges related to his attempts to overturn the 2020 election results, according to former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Pelosi, who still serves in Congress representing a California district, said in an interview on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports” Friday that Trump “knows the truth that he lost the election, and now he’s got to face the music.”
The former Speaker of the House, who served as the leader of the House Democrats and was the first woman to hold the position, said that Trump’s demeanor was not typical of the former president.
“He knows the truth, that he lost the election and now he’s got to face the music,” Pelosi said.
Pelosi also expressed disappointment in some Republicans’ continued support for Trump, calling it “really sad” and a sign that the party is too closely tied to the former president’s brand.
Trump is facing federal charges of election obstruction and conspiracy, and his arraignment Thursday was the first step in the legal process. It is unclear what the outcome of the case will be, but Pelosi said that Trump’s demeanor at the arraignment was telling.
