President Biden wants a five-year extension of the New START nuclear weapons treaty with the Kremlin and is asking his spy chief to provide intelligence assessments on Russian meddling in the 2020 election and on other malign actions by Russia around the world.
President Donald Trump was hastily impeached by the House for a second time on Wednesday for “inciting insurrection.”
Legislators accused Trump of egging on, instigating, and inciting his supporters to engage in insurrection and overthrow the U.S. government, starting with a violent attack on Congress. Uttering phrases such as, “You will never take back our country with weakness,” during his speech on Jan 6, 2021, Trump encouraged his supporters “to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard” at the Capitol building.
There are major factual errors in the House’s decision. We know now that the riots started well before Trump’s speech ended, so it’s wrong to strongly or even weakly imply that the subsequent events were a reaction to his speech. Furthermore, after the impeachment Wednesday, CNN reported that the FBI is examining evidence that the attack on the U.S. Capitol was planned, with the rioters stashing equipment in advance.
