Former Trump National Security Council member Fiona Hill on Monday said that President Trump’s “actions have put us on the brink of civil war” after pro-Trump rioters stormed the Capitol last week.
Hill, who served as the senior director for European and Russian affairs on the National Security Council, called the Capitol raid a “coup” in a Politico op-ed, saying that a coup does not need to be a “sudden, violent seizure of power involving clandestine plots and military takeovers.”
