Washington DC, Jan 14 (EFE/EPA).- Nearly three-dozen Democratic Party lawmakers have signed a letter calling for a prompt investigation into a "suspicious" visit to the United States Capitol complex by a group of apparent supporters of outgoing President Donald Trump on Jan. 5, the day before the deadly storming of that legislative building by a pro-Trump mob.The letter to the acting chief of the US Capitol Police and the acting House of Representatives and Senate sergeants-at-arms said there were "unusually large groups of people throughout the Capitol who could only have gained access to the Capitol Complex from a Member of Congress or a member of their staff."

The House of Representatives impeached President Donald Trump on Wednesday. Having been previously impeached for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress related to the Ukraine scandal, he's the first president to be impeached twice. Trump was impeached for 'incitement of insurrection' over his role in triggering the violent siege of the US Capitol on January 6. Five people died in the riot. According to Business Insider, ten Republican lawmakers broke ranks to vote with their Democratic colleagues to impeach the president. The final vote was 232 in favor of impeachment and 197 against.
"They initiated it, they thought this was a great idea and at least for the short term, it has been a colossal, political mistake," says Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell after the Democratic Party failed to impeach and remove President Donald Trump. SOUNDBITE
