'Congress is obligated' to impeach Trump after Capitol riot: Rep. Cicilline

Rep. David Cicilline, D-R.I., who is one of the representatives taking the lead on an impeachment resolution targeting President Trump's alleged efforts to incite the riot at the U.S. Capitol last week, argued on Sunday that Congress is “obligated” to impeach the president.

"We cannot allow that kind of attack on our democracy, an attempted coup d'état to occur without consequence," he added. House Democrats, including Cicilline, were drafting a new article of impeachment against Trump  Friday. The deadly riot at the Capitol two days earlier was a failed attempt to stop Congress from certifying Joe Biden’s presidential victory and a major security breach that forced lawmakers to evacuate to secure locations. Cicilline said on Sunday he plans to introduce the article of impeachment along with about 200 original cosponsors, adding that he expects "that number to grow."
