Several Democratic members of Congress are calling to impeach President Donald Trump again. Business Insider reports this coming just two weeks before he leaves office. They are calling for him to be impeached by the House and removed from office by the Senate. Many have stated allowing him to remain in office is a danger to democracy. "It's a matter of preserving our Republic and we need to fulfill our oath," Rep. Ilhan Omar wrote. What happens following the coup lead by Trump's supporters on the Capitol remains unknown.
Ilhan Omar, one of the four progressive Democratic congresswomen attacked by Donald Trump in recent tweets says the US President is "launching a blatantly racist attack", calling it "the agenda of white nationalists" during a news conference in Washington. SOUNDBITE
