The House of Representatives has introduced an article of impeachment against President Donald Trump, accusing him of “incitement of insurrection” of the deadly riot at the Capitol last week. A vote could come Wednesday.
A growing number of Republicans, including Pennsylvania Sen. Pat Toomey and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, backed the growing calls for Trump to resign or be removed.
Ahead of the riot at the Capitol, backup from the National Guard was denied by House and Senate security officials, according to Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund.
A Philadelphia police detective from the unit that investigates the backgrounds of potential recruits has been temporarily reassigned based on a tip that she attended the rally in Washington.
