CNN cited multiple sources on the 8th of the local time, saying that the Democratic Party could put forward a bill to impeach President Trump in the House of Representatives as early as the 11th and schedule a vote until early and mid-next week.
The draft resolution for impeachment is co-sponsored by 131 Democratic House members, CNN said.
In the draft resolution, Reuters said the impeachment charges were made by Congressmen David Sicillin, Ted Liu, and Jamie Raskin and are circulating among lawmakers.
President Trump was accused of inciting violence against the US government to overturn his defeat by President-elect Joe Biden in last year’s presidential election.
CNN also reported that the impeachment had a provision for inciting rebellion.
Democrats explained that in this section, President Trump actually agitated in relation to the invasion of the Capitol during a joint meeting of the House and Senate to certify the election results.
[도널드 트럼프 / 미국 대통령 : 여러분들이 의사당으로 곧 달려가 여러분의 목소리를 평화적으로 애국적으로 전달할 것으로 알고 있습니다. 우리는 공화당 의원들이 선거의 진실을 위해 거세게 버텨주는 것을 보게 될 것입니다.]
Meanwhile, Twitter permanently suspended President Trump’s account on the 8th local time.
Twitter says it has permanently suspended Trump’s account because of the risk of further agitation.
On the day Trump supporters broke into Congress, Twitter temporarily suspended President Trump’s account for 12 hours, then resumed a day later, but this time again imposed a permanent suspension.
