While the drama unfolds on Capitol Hill, President Biden and Vice President Harris visited the Pentagon on Wednesday to meet with military leaders as they seek to stay focused on the work of the new administration. Biden also announced new sanctions against Myanmar after declaring that the military seizure of power there was a coup.

The impeachment charge against Trump alleges that he “willfully made statements that encouraged — and foreseeably resulted in — imminent lawless action at the Capitol.”
Trump’s speech before the riot included no overt calls for his supporters to actually enter the Capitol or resort to violent means. But it included plenty of allusions to the idea that Congress accepting Biden’s victory was a result that must be stopped.
