US House Democrats have introduced an article of impeachment against incumbent President Donald Trump, with the resolution containing a single article, “incitement of insurrection”, in the wake of the deadly Capitol riot on 6 January.
“The Article of Impeachment: incitement to Insurrection, drafted by Rep David Cicilline, Rep Raskin, me and House Judiciary staff, has now been formally introduced at the House pro forma session today”, Congressman Ted Lieu said in a statement on Monday.
The resolution, instantly blocked by the House Republicans, noted that Trump spoke at a rally, after which his supporters mounted the attack, charging that his statements had “encouraged and foreseeably resulted in” the chaos at the Capitol.
US House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer says there may well be a vote on impeachment on the House floor on Wednesday, with Speaker Nancy Pelosi noting it will be the next step in the impeachment proceedings.
