us president ever to be impeached twice on death row the i 32 then a fair 197 there is that resolution is adopted without objection the motion to reconsider is laid upon the total. and this time it wasn't just democrats who were in favor 10 members of trump's own republican party also voted to impeach the president the president bears responsibility for wednesday's attack on congress by mob rioters he should have immediately denounced the mob when he saw what was unfolding these facts require immediate action the president. except to share responsibility the impeachment proceedings moved at breakneck speed the result coming just a week after the violence the capital. democrats were hoping to remove trump from office just days before his term ends but that would 1st require a trial in the u.s.

senate and their majority leader mitch mcconnell has rejected a quick process saying there is no chance of a fear or serious trial before the president leaves office donald trump denies his fiery speech last week incited his supporters to storm the u.s. capitol building shortly after his impeachment was announced he released a video online in which he distanced himself from the violence. mob violence goes against everything i believe in and everything our movement stands for no true supporter of mine could ever endorse political violence no true supporter of mine could ever disrespect law enforcement or our great american flag. it's unclear if lawmakers will get the 2 thirds majority needed in the senate to officially convict trump of incitement of insurrection but now it does seem clear

that any trial will take place once he's already left office. correspondent of a cell that joins us from washington for more of a welcome trump has finally clearly denounced the violence of his supporters last week at the capitol but night no mention of his impeachment what do we make of that well this is the condemnation we have been waiting for and that was essentially expected on the day of the day after all of a u.s. president of course and a week after the riots and 1st year remember it all trump sent all those mixed messages like we're used to hearing from him throughout his presidency he said we love you you're very special addressing his followers after he inside and a violent mob to take on the capitol where 5 people were killed he then later told that crowd to remain peaceful and now condemns the violence a week later but still as you mentioned earlier no congratulations for instance for

joe biden for winning the presidency no acceptance of his defeat and also he did not mention the impeachment proceeding against him with a single word so the democrats are now saying this is simply too little too late mr trump has made history all of a by becoming the on the u.s. president to be impeached twice and this time with bipartisan support how significant is the latter point. it is very significant those were only 10 volts of the republican party that voted in favor of impeaching donald trump but if you consider how close the ranks of the republicans were through all donald trump's presidency and if you compare this to the 1st impeachment trial and proceeding earlier then of course you can tell that the ranks are not as closed anymore that support for donald trump crumbles and the party is right now really in a face without a certain direction with with no clear vision and is facing big challenges
7:06 am
especially where all the republicans headed with donald trump so the next step is a trial in the senate if you only have 7 days left in office how does this proceed from here well this is going to be the 1st trial after a president has already departed so just imagine that the trial will take place without donald trump being president it will be joe biden that had that has never happened before the democrats will then hold the majority in senate they can shape the rule of the trial that will be a certain advantage for them but remember you need 2 thirds in senate to convict a president and they don't have that the democrats so is unlikely he will get convicted but it will certainly be a statement and one full day history books 6 days now into inauguration and security precautions being ramped up but one could argue this is a case very much of closing the stable door after the horse has bolted here.

well that's right and i mean if you just imagine how washington d.c. feels like at this point the whole capitol hill area is cordoned off there are fences with razor wire really surrounding the whole capital and a large part of the downtown area $20000.00 soldiers on the streets this is more than than in afghanistan really it's a surreal atmosphere the whole downtown area also on earth a lockdown. so d.c. seems safe right now at this point but of course the problem is that the f.b.i. is concerned about violent protests throughout the whole country and the concern is then that it's not everywhere as safe as it might seem right now in washington d.c. all of a sell it in washington thanks so much well paul survived and in uganda's presidential and parliamentary elections federal aid
