What to watch as House moves to impeach Trump for 2nd time

Associated Press  

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump’s fiery speech at a rally just before the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol is at the center of the impeachment charge against him, even as the falsehoods he spread for months about election fraud are still being championed by some Republicans. THE DEMOCRATIC CASE FOR IMPEACHMENT Trump faces a single charge — “incitement of insurrection” — after the deadly Capitol riot in an impeachment resolution that the House will begin debating Wednesday. “He will remain a threat to national security, democracy and the Constitution if allowed to remain in office.” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said impeachment is needed despite the limited number of days left in Trump’s term. Unlike the last time Trump was impeached, when no House Republicans supported charges against Trump over a call he made to Ukraine’s new president, the current impeachment effort has drawn support from some Republicans. McCarthy, one of Trump’s closest allies in Congress, echoed Trump in declaring that “impeachment at this time would have the opposite effect of bringing our country together.” WILL HOUSE CENSURE TRUMP?
