Say they support impeachment. Andy biggs is blasting the move and calling on cheney to step down. Ive called for her resignation. I dont think they should be the chair of the republican conference anymore. The reality is she is not representing the conference, not representing the republican ideals. Sandra Fox Team Coverage Jennifer Griffin has the latest on security ahead of inauguration today. We have analysis on impeachment. We begin with chief White House Correspondent john roberts live from the north lawn. The fallout continues for the president following the riots on capitol hill next week. Whats next for him . It all depends on the house. Good morning, sandra and trace. Were at a real Inflection Point here as a nation.

Championship at his golf club than the process of impeachment, angrier by an order of magnitude. Think about that. It may speak to Something Else beyond his greed and his grievance when deprived of a moneymaking toy, namely how little pressure and sense of responsibility the president is feeling right now. For wednesdays insurrection, an attack on the seat of our democracy. Lets not pretend here, with five people dead, a nation traumatized and the fbi warning there could be more Political Violence to come, so far there has been no real reckoning. In fact, until this weekend when flags began flying at half staff at the white house and federal buildings, there wasnt even simple recognition that lives were lost in the attack let alone a reckoning with it. Certainly not from the president. There were no daily briefings from the acting attorney general, whoever he is these days, for from the fbi director or the White House Press secretary, nothing on camera since this nonaccountability, noq
Top of the hour, good morning, everyone. Were glad youre with us, im poppy harlow. And im jim sciutto. And House Democrats are set to formally ub veil the impeachment of President Trump for an unprecedent the second time. Cnn has just obtained a copy of the single impeachment article. We have it here. It charges the president with inciting and insurrection after the deadly riots at the capitol following his words encouraging those people to march to the capitol. Also, it cites his repeated false claims that he won the election and his call to the georgia secretary of state asking him to find votes. It is so hard to watch that over and over again. But before impeachment moved forward, nancy pelosi is asking the Vice President to remove the president by invoking the 25th amendment and declaring the president incapable of performing his duties. Lets go to manu raju who joins us on capitol hill. That is pretty unlikely, right . That pence is going to do that. If he doesnt, what are we expe
Top of the hour, everyone. Im kate bolduan. Thank you for joining me. The drum beat of impeachment is growing louder while the silence from the president is deafening. So far, the white house has not the president has yet to condemn the mobs horrifying calls for Vice President mike pences head during wednesdays attack. The two men have not spoken since that day when pence did the only thing he could, which was defying trump by upholding his constitutional duty to certify the election for joe biden. And heres further evidence of the growing divide now between the two men. Sources tell cnn that pence is not ruling out using the 25th amendment to remove the president from office. And pence will also be attending joe bidens inauguration. Yet we also know that donald trump will not. Even before then, House Democrats say they are ready to move ahead with a Historic Second impeachment of the president for inciting violence and fearing he could do more damage in the days ahead, the very few da
Investigate the insurrection that was triggered by trumps own words. This is american voices. As we come on the air tonight, a virtual coasttocoast lockdown to ensure a peaceful transfer of power. A far cry from the america we are used to seeing, celebrating a new commander in chief. Yet, here we are, 21,000 National Guard troops now protect the nations capitol, along with a 7foottall barbed wire fence surrounding the grounds where joe biden will take the oath in just four days. Grounds where we have learned a virginia man was arrested yesterday after showing police an unauthorized inauguration credential. Police say he did it at a checkpoint along the perimeter, securing downtown d. C. And police claim they found a gun and more than 500 rounds of ammunition in his vehicle. Fears spreading far beyond washington, d. C. State capitols are beefing up security. National guard troops now activated in a dozen states. Its all to be prepared for whats truly an unknown tonight.
