U.S. Capitol breach | Nancy Pelosi says removing Donald Trump 'emergency of highest magnitude'

The Hindu  

U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called for President Donald Trump to be urgently removed from power, branding him "a very dangerous person who should not continue in office." "This is an emergency of the highest magnitude," the top-ranking Democrat in Congress said as she urged Vice President Mike Pence and Mr. Trump's cabinet to invoke the 25th amendment, one day after a pro-Trump mob stormed the Capitol with his encouragement in a bid to overturn the Presidential election results. "I don't think it'll take long to get an answer from the Vice President," Ms. Pelosi said, adding that she and top Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer had "made our interest in this known, so we'll see what they come back with. But with questions being asked about the security failures in Wednesday's violence she singled out acting defense secretary Christopher Miller, saying he "certainly has to answer for where the National Guard was yesterday."
