President faces new impeachment over ‘ incitement’ of rioting
DEMOCRATS moved to impeach Donald Trump with “incitement of insurrection” after Republicans blocked a measure to remove him using the US constitution.
Lawmakers want to ensure the election loser, 74, can never run for President again.
The impeachment bill cites Trump’s pressure on state officials in
Georgia to “find” him more votes, his lies about his defeat to Joe
Biden and his White
House rally before last week’s Capitol riots.
Democrats argue he encouraged thousands of supporters to “fight like hell” before they stormed the building on Wednesday.
They are likely to fail in a bid today to force a vote calling on Vice
President Mike Pence to use the 25th amendment to remove
Trump.
Defeat will see them push ahead with impeachment, which will lead to a Senate trial as early as January 20, the day of Biden’s inauguration. If found guilty of incitement of insurrection it would ban Trump from fulfilling his promise of running for the White House in 2024 or ever again.
First Lady
SHAMEFUL President Trump and wife Melania
Melania Trump yesterday broke her silence about the riot as politicians moved to certify Biden’s win.
She said in a statement strewn with spelling errors and bad grammar that she “absolutely condemns the violence”.
But she sparked fury by acknowledging the deaths of her husband’s supporters alongside killed police officers Brian Sicknick and Howard Liebengood.
Referring to reports she was putting on a photoshoot as the violence occurred, she slammed “unwarranted personal attacks, and false misleading accusations on me”.
She also failed to cast blame for Wednesday’s riot on her husband.
Trump, who would be the first US President to be impeached twice, yesterday awarded the Medal of Freedom to ally Jim Jordan and today he travels to his southern border wall. It was revealed that before the riot the FBI and the New York Police passed information to US Capitol Police about possible violence.
The FBI warned a dozen extremists under investigation in not to travel to Washing Washington DC.
