The Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, announced on Saturday that she has instructed the Rules Committee to prepare to proceed with the impeachment of the outgoing President of the United States, Donald Trump, unless resign after acts of violence against supporters in the Congress building.
Pelosi said in a statement about her meeting with the Democratic bloc in the House of Representatives: “Members hope that Trump will resign immediately, the House of Representatives will retain all options, we continue our deliberations with great respect.”
Previously, Pelosi said lawmakers had “several options” for a possible second impeachment against Trump.
When asked about the timeline for moving forward in the House on impeachment, Pelosi told reporters: “Our conversation continues. We have several options so far.”
The US network, “NBC News,” obtained a draft indictment against Trump, saying that “the president was involved in major crimes and incited a rebellion.”
For her part, Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski asked President Trump to resign.
Murkowski explained: “He must go, he will not come to the opening, and he does not focus on what is going on in Corona, he plays golf, or in the Oval Office he blames everyone who was loyal to him, including the vice president.”
Notably, Murkowski was the first Republican senator to ask Trump to resign.
The impeachment efforts coincide with the testimony of US Attorney Michael Sherwin, who is investigating the events in Congress, that the investigations and indictments will “affect Trump,” due to his remarks in front of a crowd of protesters shortly before they stormed. in the halls of the Capitol.
