Washington. Varios allegados al expresidente estadounidense Donald Trump se negaron a comparecer ante la comisión de la Cámara de Representantes que investiga el asalto Capitolio de los Estados Unidos del 6 de enero, limitando la posibilidad de que altos funcionarios rindan cuentas.

Steve Bannon, exasesor del multimillonario republicano, y el exconsejero de seguridad Kash Patel debían comparecer el jueves, mientras que el exjefe de gabinete Mark Meadows y Dan Scavino, antiguo responsable de las redes sociales, lo harían al día siguiente.

Sin embargo, ninguno se presentó después de que Trump invocara el derecho del poder Ejecutivo a mantener cierta información en secreto para evitar que declararan, lo que pone de manifiesto los límites del Congreso para realizar investigaciones cuando los líderes se niegan a rendir cuentas.
