Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said on Tuesday that the mob that attacked the Capitol was"provoked" by President Donald Trump.
McConnell touted that Congress did its duty despite the violence on January 6, certifying the victory of President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris. McConnell's comments came as the Senate prepares to hold an impeachment trial over the House's charge of"incitement of insurrection." McConnell said on Tuesday that the Senate has received a message from the House that Trump has been impeached but noted that the House has not yet transmitted the article to the Senate.
"We need to set a precedent that the severest offense ever committed by a President will be met by the severest remedy provided by the Constitution — Impeachment and conviction by this chamber as well as disbarment from future office," Schumer said.
