D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser has asked the Department of Homeland Security to extend the period of security for the inauguration beginning Monday through Jan. 24 in the wake of last week's assault on the U.S. Capitol.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Sunday laid out the next steps in the bid to remove President Trump from office in the wake of the assault on the U.S. Capitol. The White House, meanwhile, said Mr. Trump is set to travel to the U.S.-Mexico border on Tuesday and will resume official duties amid the firestorm.
Pelosi said Congress on Monday will move on a motion brought by Congressman Jamie Raskin that calls on Vice President Mike Pence to convene the Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Mr. Trump from office.
If Pence does not respond, Pelosi said the House will proceed with articles of impeachment, which have been drafted but have not yet been introduced.
Hoping to stave off more violence, District of Columbia Mayor Muriel Bowser yesterday asked Interior Secretary David Bernhardt to cancel permits for all large pre-inauguration gatherings planned on federal property in the next two weeks.
