3:02 am
single article of impeachment introduced to congress on monday incited by president trump the article reads members of the crowd he had addressed unlawfully breached and vandalized the capitol injured and killed law enforcement personnel menaced members of congress the vice president and congressional personnel and engaged in other violent deadly destructive and seditious acts this doesn't mean trump has been impeached that would take a house vote likely to happen wednesday close to a majority of house members have said they'll vote yes in a move that would make trump the only u.s. president to be impeached twice. the impeachment would then move to the senate where trump would go on trial given that his term ends a week from wednesday the trial would be after trump leaves office a conviction requiring the vote of at least 17 republican senators what bar him from holding future office impeachment and conviction at this rate would serve the
3:03 am
purpose of keeping him from running again in 2024 and that would be a significant safety event so i don't think this is pure theater house resolution 20 house democrats are also trying to push out trump sooner claiming each day he's in office is a danger to the country but a republican objection monday quickly delayed that effort i object to the resolution demanding vice president mike pence invoke the 25th amendment to immediately remove trump from office will return to the floor tuesday pence is unlikely to oblige one reason his own presidential ambitions and other concern about further inflaming the radicalism of some trump supporters the f.b.i. is warning that armed groups are planning to travel to washington to incite more violence and respond if pence invokes the 25th amendment to remove trump from office soldiers now stand guard outside the u.s.
3:04 am
capitol with between 101-5000 national guard troops expected here by saturday in my scared if i'm scared of anything it's for our democracy because we have a very extreme factions in our country that are armed and dangerous the district's mayor has asked for a pretty emergency disaster declaration ahead of joe biden's inauguration to further facilitate security planning but the person who must grant the declaration is trump himself the man holed up and isolated inside the white house as his presidency ticks away and the calls for his removal rage louder heidi joe castro al-jazeera washington life out of washington i was here as mike hanna is with us mike the president and vice president have met for the 1st time since the attack on the capital last week. indeed yes well they
3:05 am
hadn't spoken since wednesday and that the last occasion that they spoke by telephone was when president phoned mike pence while the siege of the capitol was underway to insist that reject the be a vote of the electoral college so certainly there has been tension between the 2 not quite clear what this particular discussion was about but president trump has still made no public comment on the moves against him in congress a spokesman for 'd the president did appear with the local media saying that he in his conversation with the president it was clear that he was angry about this particular spokesman continued to insist that there was no discussion about the looming impeachment of president trump but very clearly house democrats are going to go ahead with this impeachment the boat taking place on wednesday there's been another resignation mike of the f.b.i. is warning of possible violence not just in washington d.c.
3:06 am
ahead of the inauguration. indeed yes well there was an internal memorandum distributed to opposite across the country that was leaked to the media in which the f.b.i. was warning that it has information of acts of violence being planned in all 50 of the u.s. states during this inauguration period so clearly this is a very dire warning from the f.b.i. although it has not been made public repeated was a leaked document that the media obtained but there have been warnings of possible violence and the issue at the moment with that resignation that you mention and that's the acting secretary of homeland security now chad wolf has announced his resignation he is not linking it directly to last wednesday's events instead he cites the reason for his resignation as the court cases that are looming against
3:07 am
him big. his acting status as secretary president has not moved him to the senate for nomination but this is obviously a major issue chaired will force him direct control of the security arrangements for the inauguration his department obviously is controls the secret service now what has happened before he left office sees resigning for pick from midnight tonight but wolf has stepped up the security around the inauguration by extending the secure period from the 2 days around the in all the inauguration to immediate starting immediately that is over the next 10 days so essentially what this means is that the secret service will take over as point organization for security during this inaugural period it will be the secret service that will coordinate with other branches of the federal government to ensure security and also very very clearly much greater planning going into this. organized inauguration then there was for
3:08 am
what happened last wednesday we're very clearly there was very little planning in terms of the threat that had been posed online and by various organizations even before those events took place at the capital al-jazeera as mike hanna reporting live there from washington and he thanks to mike. as a political strategist and founder of republican women for biden she says that even president trump's closest allies questioning his recent behavior. i think this is the moment where obviously one's loyalty to party and country were questioned i'm a longtime country over party voter myself and i must say not having voted for president trump in either election 2016 or 2020 made me the culprit in today's republican party people in the republican party label folks like myself as never trampers that was a label i never wanted i didn't want to identify myself as having had anything to do with this president but that was
3:09 am
a label given to us they also said we had trumped arrangements and drum every time we war and about what violence in the future and we weren't about the threat to the constitution what we saw happen last week in real time was people finding their morals finding their principles and remembering the very american values which have made this country prosperous and great for generations before i got here so i must say i'm a bit disappointed by these 11th hour resignations they don't mean much and i think we should hold to account all the folks that were part of the trump administration and stood by silently as atrocities were committed the worst of which was last wednesday. more now on the security challenges in the run up to joe biden's inauguration as we heard a little earlier a leaked internal memo. from the f.b.i. has reportedly warned state and local law enforcement across the u.s. to prepare for violence by right wing extremists from sunday security's being
3:10 am
stepped up a week earlier than planned the national guard is deploying up to 15000 soldiers in washington d.c. it well as you heard acting homeland security secretary chuck wolf has resigned after criticizing donald trump for the riots at capitol hill steven rogers is a former member of the f.b.i. national joint terrorism task force a former advisor to the trump campaign during the 2016 presidential campaign he joins us now live via skype from nutley in new jersey good to have you with us stephen of the what happened in washington on wednesday last week will state capitals be ready for any potential unrest. yes they will are law enforcement agencies nationwide from local communities to our national law enforcement agencies are well prepared and well and trained to deal with any eventuality what we saw happen at the capitol was a catastrophic great down in security i was shocked that they appeared that they
3:11 am
were simply not prepared to deal with the large crowds that they knew were coming i mean they knew several days before this event that tens of thousands were coming i do not blame the police out on the streets i blame their leaders i blame the political leaders from both sides they all should have known that they needed to be prepared and be prepared for any eventuality if they were if they had enough manpower even if they had the national guard being proactive we would not be having this discussion tonight tech giants of shut down paula the the application that many right wing activists say using to what's organize themselves how does the the f.b.i. disrupt. organization that is the despair haps on the ground a group called boogaloo apparently is calling for an organizing the storming of states local and federal government buildings in the run up to the aeration. well
3:12 am
to begin with anyone who is going to join any on protest they ought to be put in jail we don't do things like that in this country i don't care who side they are on innocent people innocent law enforcement officers get killed so that has to be immediately addressed by all of our leaders that that will not be tolerated in this country with regard to poller the shutting them down was a very dangerous thing to do why because you just removed 1st amendment rights from the people of this country as distasteful as these things will be now to answer your question directly we do have tools in law enforcement a lot of intelligence gathering and in summation gathering methodologies other than the internet to ensure that we get the information we need to put a stop to a lot of what we see happening we just have to sometimes think about how we did it in the old days and you know what it worked pretty well really good to talk to so
3:13 am
