Meanwhile, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said that the riots that occurred on Capitol Hill "were an insurrection incited by the President of the United States against the country, and he should not stay in power for another day."
According to NBC News, the moves to impeach the president took place in the context of Mr. Trump, when participating in a rally held on January 6 outside the White House, calling on a crowd of supporters to march to Capitol Hill and “show strength”. But the rally later turned into a riot, when many extremists stormed the US Capitol and destroyed many properties.
