The United States House of Representatives voted Wednesday to impeach President Trump on charges of “incitement of insurrection” for his role in the Jan. 6 siege of the Capitol building by his supporters that left five people dead.
US House Democrats plan to vote Wednesday to impeach President Donald Trump, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer told Democrats on a caucus call on Monday (local time). Hoyer said that the House will vote Tuesday evening on a resolution urging Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from power, and then plan to vote Wednesday at 9 am ET on the impeachment resolution, CNN reported. Democrats formally introduced their impeachment resolution Monday, charging Trump with incitement of insurrection as they attempt to impeach him for the second time. The single impeachment article, which was introduced when the House gaveled into a brief pro-forma session on Monday, points to Trump s repeated allegations that he won the election and his speech to the crowd on January 6 before the rioters breached the Capitol, according to CNN.
