3:02 am
is reverberating among democrats armed some republicans articles of impeachment have been drafted at are expected to be brought to the house of representatives on monday this is the nation's law enforcement and intelligence committee's work to identify and detail in the perpetrators more than 50 people have been arrested let's go live to washington. is on the is there for us what's the latest on the plans to impeach the president. well full speed ahead nancy pelosi the speaker of the house you know obviously gave donald trump that ultimatum you either resign or we're moving forward with impeachment there is 0 indication that he is going to resign at least right now and so like you said those articles of impeachment are expected to be formally drafted on monday nancy pelosi we think has been spending the weekend going over the final language of it and those final draft of it we
3:03 am
expect could be released as early as monday with a vote potentially as early as tuesday or wednesday. this is how it's shaping up to be in washington this coming week now it's expected that if it does go to a vote that it will probably pass fairly easily because all they need is a simple majority the democrats control the house of representatives narrowly but they control it but they want even matter much because we're also hearing about republicans who are expected to potentially sign on to these articles of impeachment as well after that though it gets a little trickier because then it's going to go to the senate for a quote unquote trial as it's called and donald trump will not be removed from office in less the senate or 3 fourths of the senate agrees to actually for lack of better word convict him there's 2 problems here number one can they get 3 fourths of the senate to agree upon that it's unsure on that and then the other issue is the only has 11 more days in office would they be able to do that in the next 11
3:04 am
days that's also potentially problematic as well however we do know there are at least 4 u.s. senators that are republicans that have already said they would. and do believe that donald trump should be removed from office immediately that's 4 republican senators which is quite significant bottom line though is we do expect impeachment proceedings against donald trump to move forward as early as monday tuesday and wednesday of this coming week and gabe after having his twitter account permanently suspended the president is trying to circumvent the power. he has he's trying to post on other twitter accounts and those posts have also been taken down there's a poet's account p o t u s president of the united states that is controlled by the white house and that's the official twitter account for the president this is separate from his personal account there was completely shut down by twitter he posted to that friday night
3:05 am
actually a message twitter immediately deleted those messages but has not shut down the entire potest account we ask yourself well why the answer is very simple that account is controlled by the us government and the white house and that account will be handed over to joe biden on january 20th so that's why twitter did not want to completely shut down that account but anywhere else that trump has been trying to post for example team trump another account that was one of his campaign accounts he posted there as well on friday night those messages were also deleted and that entire cow account was shut down as well a lot of people are very upset about this trump supporters trump himself put out a statement saying that he believes that that twitter is trying to stifle free speech and silence him and his supporters but twitter says absolutely not all we're trying to do according to twitter is simply prevent donald trump from inciting any violence by any of his tweets but his supporters are clearly very upset about this
3:06 am
and they clearly view it as a direct threat to their 1st amendment rights to free speech twitter obviously views it very differently out 0 as on the live in washington gave many thanks indeed as we were hearing there's been a lot of discussion about invoking the 25th amendments to the constitution to remove president trump that amendment was added to the constitution in 1967 it clarifies the presidential line of succession and sets up a process of filling the vice presidency if that office becomes vacant but it also created a way to remove a sitting president. if the vice president and the majority of the cabinet believe quote that the president is an able to discharge the power of his office the vice president should immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as acting president the president can get his authority back by objecting and writing if the
3:07 am
vice president and cabinet disagree and congress has 3 weeks to decide the issue the president gets his powers back unless 2 thirds of both the house and the senate agree to his removal christine pelosi is an attorney a democratic strategist she says the trump's conduct is unprecedented this was something different this was a rally where people were told to go to the capitol to show strength that they they were instructed by the president to not show weakness and as they were marching there and as they said they were going to storm the capitol for a revolution he and his attorneys were on the phone with senators trying to to delay so what we have are 5 people dead including the police officer we have staff that are traumatized property that's been damaged and the an insurrection an outward attempt to change that moment of the transfer of power and that is what needs to be pursued criminal charges are going to be pursued against. the mob
