“Hello.” “Right here, sir, to your left. “Right here – thank you. I know the State Department I am entering today is not the same one I left four years ago. Many things have changed. The world has changed. The department has changed. And we just have to look around to see it. At the state, we have a role to play in all of this. And I believe it starts with rebuilding morale and confidence. It’s a priority for me because we need a strong ministry to make the United States strong in the world. So we have some work to do, but I have no doubts that we will succeed. The United States has enormous sources of strength that we are going to rely on. American values are noble and powerful, and we are committed to them again. And American leadership is needed around the world. And we will provide it because the world is much more likely to solve problems and meet challenges when the United States is there. America, at its best, still has a greater ability than any other nation on earth to mobilize others for the best.

Prosecutors expect to arrest ‘hundreds’ linked to Capitol riot

“The importance of this investigation is not lost on us. This is a full 24/7 operation on what happened that day. Since our call for advice, videos and images, we have received over 100,000 digital media, which is absolutely fantastic. Even if you have left DC, officers from our local offices will knock on your door if we find out that you are part of the criminal activity on Capitol Hill. “We have already opened 170, more than 170 thematic files, which means that these people have been identified as potential persons having committed crimes on the Capitol grounds, inside and outside. So out of the 170 cases that have already been opened, and I predict they will increase to hundreds over the next few weeks, we have already accused over 70 cases. Just yesterday our office organized a strike force made up of top national security prosecutors and corruption prosecutors. Their only marching orders from me are to bring seditious and conspiratorial charges related to the most heinous acts that have taken place in the Capitol, and these are important charges that have felonies with prison terms of up to 20 years.
