More than half of Americans want Donald Trump fired, according to an Ipsos poll.

Two-thirds believe he is to blame for the unrest in Washington.

At the same time, Democrats are demanding information from the FBI on terrorism charges.

On January 20, Joe Biden will be sworn in as the 46th President of the United States. More and more people want the 45 to be expelled before then.

In an ABC News / Ipsos opinion poll, 56 percent of the American population thinks Donald Trump should be removed from office. In principle, all Democrats surveyed (94 percent) think so, but only 13 percent of Republicans.

The poll also shows that 67 percent believe the president is largely or fairly responsible for the unrest in Washington. Five people, including a police officer, died in connection with the riots. The measurement was taken over the weekend and published today.

As Joe Biden’s election victory was to be confirmed, protesters attacked the Capitol Congress building.

195 have signed

A Supreme Court trial may begin tomorrow, the US media write. 195 members of Congress have signed a petition, according to initiator Ted Lieu.

It would have been the first time that a US president has been involved in a Supreme Court trial on two occasions. No one has been deposed through such a process, which also means that one cannot be re-elected president.

The American expert Jakob Stenberg believes that it is very possible that a trial in the Supreme Court will start, but that it will hardly be carried out.

– It is a harsh critic of Trump and Nancy Pelosi probably feels that her responsibility is to hold Trump accountable for this.

A two-thirds majority in the Senate is required for the removal of the president. Only a few Republican senators have voiced support for the impeachment of Donald Trump.

– The voters of many Republican senators like Trump. If they choose to convict you in a lawsuit like this, without your voters wanting you, they will likely lose an election in turn. So no, I don’t think he will be convicted in such a process, says Jakob Stenberg on Aftonbladet TV.

Sources: Pence does not exclude Annex 25

An alternative to the Supreme Court process is the 25th supplement. It requires a majority of ministers and Vice President Mike Pence to topple Trump. CNN sources affirm that the vice president does not rule out that option, in case Donald Trump appears increasingly unstable.

At the same time, Democrats are demanding a ruling on the impeachment issue, writes the New York Times.

“We request an immediate update on what the FBI is doing to investigate and prosecute the instigation, planning and execution of the deadly terrorist attack on the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021, by President Donald Trump, his supporters, and external groups “. Leading Democrats write in a letter to FBI Director Christopher A. Wray.

The FBI has so far arrested dozens of people on suspicion of involvement in the assault on the Capitol. Including “QAnon shaman” Jake Angeli, the tattooed, face-painted man in a fur hat and horns. Adam Johnson, who took the pulpit from President Nancy Pelosis, has also been arrested.
