Lawmakers Call To Impeach Trump, Accuse Him Of Inciting Capitol Riot
The Republican governor of Vermont called for Trump s resignation, while Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) said she s already drafting articles of impeachment.
Several Democratic lawmakers and one Republican called for President Donald Trump to be impeached for a second time over his efforts to encourage rioters who took over the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to overturn the presidential election.
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) said on Wednesday she’s drawing up articles of impeachment on Wednesday afternoon while many lawmakers were still on lockdown in the Capitol. “Donald J. Trump should be impeached by the House of Representatives & removed from office by the United States Senate,” she tweeted. “We can’t allow him to remain in office, it’s a matter of preserving our Republic and we need to fulfill our oath.”
