america. good to be with you on this monday morning. thank you for starting the new week with us. >> that's right, let's take a live look at the capitol where just hours from now the house will begin the process of trying to impeach president trump for the second time. an impeachment resolution set to be introduced in the house of representatives, a vote on impeaching president trump for inciting a mob that breached the capitol. >> no president has acted like this. no president has faced charges like this. no president has confronted a second impeachment. president trump is isolated at the white house. he's banned from twitter and facebook. his presidency unraveling in these final days and our new poll with ipsos shows the majority of americans believe he should be removed from office before his term ends on january 20th. two-thirds blame him for the capitol riot that has left the country in a state of shock. >> two-thirds. on capitol hill, house democrats are calling on vice president mike pence to act to strip
7:03 am
president trump of his power for his remaining days in office. our political and legal teams are covering all the angles. mary bruce starts us off. good morning, mary. >> reporter: robin, good morning. well, we are in uncharted territory here with just nine days left in the trump presidency, and with the nation and city shaken to its core, congress is grappling with how to hold the president accountable for the violence he incited here. democrats this morning plan to move quickly. house speaker pelosi is ramping up the pressure on the vice president to remove trump from office warning mike pence if he doesn't act soon she will. five days after the horrific siege on the capitol the nation still reeling as stunning images reveal the extent of the violence. in one video, an officer seen dragged down the stairs, the mob of trump supporters appear to beat him with an american flag. another shows a rioter punching through the glass. members of congress just inches away on the other side. now this morning, house democrats are moving swiftly to
7:04 am
hold the president accountable. and try to force him from office. >> the person running the executive branch is a deranged, unhinged, dangerous president of the united states. he has done something so serious that there should be prosecution against him. >> reporter: overnight, house speaker pelosi with an ultimatum for the vice president, immediately strip trump of his power using the 25th amendment or else the house will move to impeach trump later this week, for a second time. something never seen before in our nation's history. more than 200 democrats are already backing a charge to impeach the president for willfully inciting violence against the government of the united states. >> we're going to walk down to the capitol, and if you don't fight like hell you're not going to have a country anymore. >> reporter: the president even put his own vice president in the crosshairs. >> mike pence is going to have to come through for us. >> reporter: when he didn't and refused to overturn the election
7:05 am
results, rioters chanted hang mike pence. the chaos leaving five dead in its wake. >> this door, they broke down. >> reporter: pelosi revealing some of the damage, showing "60 minutes" where her staff was forced to hide, terrified as the rioters ransacked her offices. >> the staff went under the table, barricaded the door, turned out the lights and were silent in the dark. >> reporter: this morning, it's not just democrats who are calling to remove trump. several republicans and top trump allies say the president has to go now. >> i think the best thing for the country to heal would be for him to resign and the next best thing is the 25th amendment. that's why i call on vice president pence to do it. >> what we had was an incitement to riot at the united states capitol. >> so you think it was an impeachable offense? >> oh, sure. yeah. if inciting an insurrection isn't, then i don't know what is. >> reporter: but other republicans warn impeachment
7:06 am
would only further divide the nation. >> i hope the democrats don't go down this road. i don't see how that that that t country. >> reporter: while some democrats argue that the country can't move forward until trump is held accountable. >> if we allow insurrection against the united states with impunity, with no accountability, we're inviting it to happen again. that's how serious it is. >> reporter: now democrats could move to impeach trump for the second time by the end of this week. democrats are in a tough position here. they want to get to the work of trying to unite and heal the nation, a senate trial is sure to dominate the early days of a biden administration. one option, democrats in the house could delay sending over the articles of impeachment to the senate. we saw speaker pelosi do that in the first impeachment. jim clyburn has said they could delay a senate trial until after biden's first 100 days. if president trump is convicted, he could be barred from holding political office again, stripped
7:07 am
of his pension and denied other benefits. george? >> okay, mary. thanks very much. let's take a look inside the white house with our chief white house correspondent jon karl. the president isolated inside the white house. he's faced resignations from his top staff and members of cabinet and now he has to prepare for a second impeachment. >> reporter: he does, george, and he's going to go into this second impeachment if it happens without the legal team that led his defense in the first impeachment. jay sekulow, a lawyer who's been with him all along has made it clear to colleagues he wants no part of defending trump this time. pat cipollone, his white house counsel, is barely on speaking terms, if at all, with the president prieright now and i'md he's seriously considering resigning. >> they call on vice president to move on the 25th amendment. move to remove president trump on office, but that's not going to happen. >> reporter: it's not. we haven't heard a response from the vice president's office directly to pelosi's latest demand. look, george, for the past
7:08 am
several days there has been a lot of talk about the 25th amendment, about members of the trump cabinet weighing that option and mike pence hasn't come out to rule it out. that's more significant. he never ruled out going for the 25th amendment but the bottom line is, they have concluded it would take too much time, and if they did it, it would be subject to legal challenge. it's simply not viable. >> the president is going to try to go forward with a relatively normal schedule this week? >> reporter: yeah, we'll see how this goes, but the plan anyway for this week is for the president every day this week to simply highlight one of his accomplishments. he's going to texas tomorrow to talk about the wall, but obviously, anything can happen this week. >> jon karl, thanks very much. let's bring in our legal team, chief analyst dan abrams, and kate shaw from cardozo law school. dan, democrats are saying this is a textbook impeachable offense? >> there's no question that it's impeachable. the question is, will they be able to impeach and convict him?
7:09 am
one thing to focus on is not just what led up to the riot in this sort of hours beforehand, which will certainly be the focus. what about the weeks beforehand when the president was consistently telling the lie that the election was stolen? i mean that's a very, very serious allegation to come from the president of the united states when it wasn't true. so i think that's got to be a focus. and then what happened immediately afterwards as it's happening, was there inaction? is it true for example, that he held off on calling the national guard? those are the sorts of issues that i think will become relevant that don't specifically relate to the technical question of those hours beforehand inciting the riot. >> that would be part of context, kate. the democrats are focused simply on the incitement, the most simple impeachment resolution possible. >> well, you know, i think that they have very little time. so i think it's right that
7:10 am
they're going to try to keep this process simple. they could sweep in all kinds of other conduct and rhetoric if they wanted to, but i think given the imperatives of how little time remains before the 20th they'll stay pretty focused on january 6th. dan is right, the context is important. the context of a president seeking to hang on to power, using his public perch is sort exactly what the framers had in mind when they drafted the impeachment process and included it in the constitution, right? a demagogue who seeks to retain office through whatever means he can, that is the context through which these riots occurred. >> kate, they didn't rule out this idea of a trial after the president leaves office. >> no, that's right. it seems as though that's possible. the constitution does appear to permit impeachment not just of sitting officials, but of former officials, and of course, because impeachment has two consequences. one is removing an official from office if there's a conviction. the other potential is disqualification of holding
7:11 am
future federal office. i think that's the reason the democrats are talking about pursuing impeachment even after the 20th because they could seek a vote -- it would take a separate vote. they could take a separate vote to disqualify trump from running again for president. >> dan the the president is in power for nine more days. the big question now is, will the president try to pardon himself? >> yeah, i think many will expect that he will. he talked about that publicly the question is going to be, if he were to be charged in a federal court, what would happen then? would it be upheld? there are a lot of questions about it, and beyond that a lot of questions, a lot of doubts about whether the president would be able to do it. >> it's hard to imagine. if the president can pardon himself, he could do anything. he would be a dictator. dan, kate, thank you very much. amy? george, now to the nationwide manhunt for the rioters involved in last week's siege of the u.s. capitol. new arrests and federal charges this morning as fallout from that insurrection continues to rattle the nation. chief global affairs correspondent martha raddatz has the latest.
7:12 am
>> reporter: police say this man seen holding a white flex cuff at the capitol is larry brock, a texas-based air force academy graduate and combat veteran, arrested over the weekend. along with eric munchel of tennessee who law enforcement officials say appears to be the man here carrying plastic restraints prompting questions about whether they intended to take hostages. a senior official telling abc news that the rioters were organized, coordinated and had leadership and communications equipment and that many former military members were among them. and not just military, police departments across the country looking into whether their own members took part in this siege. also arrested over the weekend, richard barnett, who sat himself in house speaker nancy pelosi's office chair, seen here turning himself in at an arkansas
7:13 am
sheriff's office friday. and new details about this frightening moment caught on camera. "the washington post" reporting that the officer was holding back the mob after noticing the door to the senate chamber above was open. the quick-thinking officer then seen deliberately leading the mob the opposite way. and then this video, taken as rioters breached the capitol. >> you're only hurting us. there's no members here. you gotta stand down. >> reporter: cops heard telling them, the military is on the way. one person responding, they're not going to shoot everybody. on the other side, an officer fires a shot killing ashli babbitt, a fervent trump supporter and an air force veteran from california. the man who took this video, john sullivan, said he was questioned and detained by the fbi but released. he says he's given them a copy
7:14 am
of this video. all this as america is mourning the loss of 42-year-old capitol police officer and veteran brian sicknick, killed as a result of wednesday's chaos. officials investigating reports that he was attacked with a fire extinguisher. sicknick's grieving family issuing a statement saying, quote, brian is a hero and that is what we would like people to remember. president trump finally ordering flags at half-staff, as friends remember sicknick's kind face and a true professional who loved the outdoors. >> he was always kind to everyone, no matter who they were, or who they worked for. >> reporter: sicknick's death now being investigated as a homicide by the washington metropolitan police with assistance by the fbi. robin? >> continue to think of his family. all right, martha, thank you. now the social media crackdown in the aftermath of the capitol hill siege. in addition to twitter banning
7:15 am
president trump, the conservative app parler has been removed from most major app stores. rebecca jarvis has the latest there. >> reporter: this morning, president trump's social media has been silenced. twitter, the platform where the president boasted a following of more than 88 million making the unprecedented move to ban him permanently following similar bans by facebook, instagram, reddit and twitch. trump doubling down in a statement accusing twitter of banning free speech, adding, we will not be silenced. in response, many conservatives saying they would move their social media to self-proclaimed free speech app, parler. the most downloaded app in apple store until it was removed by both apple and google. >> parler is a billion-dollar company and poof, it's gone. more than just the financial aspect to that, republicans have no way to communicate. >> reporter: the ban leaving some to ask if first amendment
7:16 am
rights are being violated. >> these are private companies. they are not public squares. a lot of people who are complaining, many of whom work in congress, haven't really read the first amendment which says congress will make no law forbidding free speech. it doesn't say that facebook or twitter or apple or anybody should make no law. they can do whatever they want. they're private businesses. >> reporter: now amazon web services which host parler now suspending them to the platform. parler ceo calling the move an attempt to completely remove free speech off the internet. and overnight the pga announcing it's cancelling plans to host the 2022 pga championship at the trump national golf club in bedminster saying it would be detrimental to the brand. the trump organization telling abc news in a statement, it is seriously disappointed. george? >> the fallout continues. rebecca, thanks very much. in the wake of last week's capitol siege, there are new threats to the inauguration. pierre thomas, our chief justice correspondent is in washington with the latest and the preparations to counter those threats. pierre? >> reporter: george, good
