Trump's second impeachment: US president to face Senate trial for inciting insurrection

Description

Donald Trump makes history: the only US President to be impeached TWICE. The vote in the House of Representatives saw 10 Republicans flip over to vote against their president. Such is the depth of feeling over the violence at the Capitol last week when a mob of Trump supporters, egged on by the President, marched on Congress, occupying and vandalising the premises. In the violence 5 people were killed. In the France 24 Debate we are asking is this the end of the story or just another beginning?

  • Mitch McConnell Tries To Soothe World: 'Every Four Years, We've Moved On'

    Decision Desk HQ has called Joe Biden as the winner of the 2020 presidential election, and says Biden is preparing to be the country's 46th president. Until October, US President Donald Trump had still refused to commit to transferring power peacefully, should Joe Biden be named president-elect. Eventually, though, Trump backed down, saying he didn't want a transfer because he wanted to win. Now, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is seeking to soothe those who fear Trump may change his mind again. Business Insider reports McConnell assured a peaceful transfer of power between the Trump and Biden administrations. We've had a peaceful transfer of power going back to 1792.
