7:02 pm
increasingly tweeting or re tweeting misleading or false information sometimes even disproven conspiracy theories this is a very big deal i will say it's had a sense of inevitability remember twitter did temporarily suspend his account back on the 2 days ago when the the violent mob marched on the capitol and they required him to delete 2 tweets and then they reinstated him and he made a few more tweets but if you remember when they said that they said further violations may result in permanent suspension or language to that effect in the halls of congress calls are growing for trump to be impeached a group of democrats has circulated the draft of the articles of impeachment against trump that is expected to be taken up in the house as soon as monday it accuses trump of high crimes and misdemeanors by inciting an insurrection and says trump has demonstrated he will remain a threat if allowed to stay in office the white house called the articles of
7:03 pm
impeachment politically motivated and will only further divide america he must be removed from office house speaker nancy pelosi said if trump doesn't resign she'll move forward with impeachment is said to have yet to sign off on the final wording of the impeachment language in a letter to her congressional colleagues on friday called trump unhinged and said she spoke to a top military commander about ensuring trumps access to the nuclear codes was limited in his final days in office so he couldn't launch a nuclear war with only 11 days left in trump's presidency it's unclear if that will be enough time for congress to vote on impeachment. yet trump is facing the prospect of being the 1st president in u.s. history to be impeached twice in already less a 48 hours we have over $150.00 co-authors of this article of impeachment and
7:04 pm
that does show i think very strong momentum we also have the fact that most people multiple people die in this attempted coup and it's something we can't just ignore the pressure on trump to step down is also gaining steam the latest call comes from republican lisa murkowski a senator from alaska who told a local newspaper that the president is no longer fit to serve out the individual terms on friday president elect joe biden announced the final group of his cabinet secretary picks and said fighting the pandemic in creating jobs remains his top priority when asked if trump should be removed from office he said this i've had a number of my republican colleagues former colleagues i've served in the senate for a long time call me they are many of them or i was outraged and disappointed and embarrassed and mortified by the president's conduct as i am and democrats. want as for

the rioters that set off the crisis several were arrested on friday including this man richard barnett seen here in a widely circulated photo sitting at nancy pelosi s desk the department of justice has issued 13 federal indictments related to the rioting and more arrests are expected in the coming days trump tweeted from his official presidential account hours after his personal account was taken down he said twitter was trying to ban free speech and silence not only him but also his supporters minutes later those tweets were also taken down by the social media giant. gabriels ardo. washington. the speaker of the house nancy pelosi says they have no choice but to presume pietschmann to or the 25th amendments that's fine enough members of a cabinet to clear a president unfit for office here's what she had to say sadly the person is running
7:06 pm
negative branch is a drainage unhinged dangerous president of the united states and only a number of days until we can be protected from him but he has done something so serious that there should be prosecution against him well i gather that the 25th amendment is off the table that isn't nothing is off the table well as cross live to washington d.c. fire is standing by for us passage we heard there from nancy pelosi and a real sense that there is relying within the political class. there is so much anger and it's come in mostly bipartisan i mean trump still has his hardcore supporters but really you can tell in this town the tide is changing think about this this was absolutely terrifying for these lawmakers. just barely
7:07 pm
escaped before the mob was able to get into the chamber into the speaker's office and it what happened here is i think really starting to sink in for people because it was such a shock it was so unexpected there was the belief that this was one of the most protected buildings in the world at how quickly it fell and how violent the mob was it was so close to home for these lawmakers so there's a definite sense of realizing what happened and you can tell it everywhere you look around this complex there are national guard hundreds maybe even thousands by now national guard soldiers walking in and protecting the premises a lot more security a lot more barricades it definitely feels like this is a place on edge because the media they're circulating again in this right wing atmosphere that they're going to try again on january 17th not just here but a capitals all across the country so there's truly a sense that all of the danger it's just not done it could just happen again. and.
7:08 pm
patchy there's a lot of talk right now on next stamps of course 5th amendments is one option but it really looks like impeachment is the more likely option just take us through the impeachment process most likely to happen next. exactly that i know that it's been reported that the cabinet has been discussing the 25th amendment but there's a lot of open questions about that because donald trump has so many acting secretaries in his cabinet it's not clear exactly what threshold they would have to reach so impeachment does seem not only likely but it evitable the house as i mentioned the democrats are really angry. if they took it up on monday they could actually get it done on monday just a simple majority is all they need to pass it then by law the senate has to have a trial the question is is that going to be well done from still in office to do that to immediately start a trial 100 percent of the senators $100.00 all $100.00 of them would have to agree
7:09 pm
that seems unlikely so then you're looking at a pizza probably the day that joe biden takes office or the day after and there's a lot of question about whether democrats really want that to sort of steal the limelight but there are others say that you have to send a message and one of the things impeach or do if he's convicted if they can get those 17 senators on the republican side to agree and all 50 republicans are all 50 democrats what they say is it sends the message to future leaders and also there's a provision in there that they could ban the term from ever holding public office again so it's definitely in the mix and it does seem like the momentum is a democrat side that he will become the 1st president in u.s. history to be impeached twice definitely something to keep an eye on passing for now live at capitol hill thank you very much indeed. so are the new stone officials in indonesia say a passenger plane a suspect it's of crashed after it went missing shortly after takeoff from the

7:18 pm
from any other excellence it certainly does muscle that make a phone however trump's message is already going out very far there are many other apps and groups that have taken up his messaging and so even though this will muffle the effects of that many of trump's messages will continue to get out and he will still find other outlets to continue his rhetoric trump himself throughout his term has criticised the social media site as cracking down on him personally and restricting free speech and so this move while perhaps constraining trump in keeping some of this messaging a little bit more subdued it will however probably have this backfire effect of further mobilizing his base further making those who follow him feel aggrieved and see him as a victim by this decision. north korean leader kim jong un has threatened to expand his nuclear arsenal haldin one saying the us has his country's worst enemy as
