The impeachment trial represents a remarkable reckoning with the violence in the Capitol last month, which the senators witnessed firsthand, and with Trump’s presidency overall.

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump has released a video condemning the violent insurrection he fomented at the Capitol last week. The video came out Wednesday after he was impeached by the House for a record second time, this time with Republican votes. Trump also called on his supporters to remain peaceful amid concerns about additional violence in the days before President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration. Trump says: “I want to be very clear: I unequivocally condemn the violence that we saw last week.” He says, “Like all of you I was shocked and deeply saddened by the calamity” and “no true supporter” of his “could ever endorse political violence.”Trump also said that he had directed federal agencies “to use all necessary resources to maintain order in Washington, D.C.” over the next week.”Trump made no reference to becoming the first president in the nation’s history to be impeached twice.

WASHINGTON – The FBI warned law enforcement agencies ahead of last week’s breach of the U.S. Capitol about the potential for extremist-driven violence and prosecutors are now weighing sedition charges against at least some of the Trump loyalists who stormed the building, U.S. officials said Tuesday. The revelations contradict earlier pronouncements from law enforcement leaders about the potential for danger last week. D’Antuono defended the handling of the information, saying it was shared in 40 minutes with other law enforcement agencies. Even without intelligence from law enforcement, there had been ample warning about pro-Trump demonstrations in Washington. In this instance, it also left officers with little ability to resist the mob.
