The insurrection known as the Capitol Hill Riots earlier this month that left at least five people dead has been at the forefront of national and international news, with the FBI hot on the trails of any of those known to be involved. Now, police around the nation are getting prepared for potential violence on Inauguration Day, January 20.

it is being reported that police will be monitoring landmarks across the country and security for places like Trump Towers in New York City as Trump leaves office.

The National Guard is working 12-hour shifts along with D.C. Police for 7 days a week.

TMZ spoke to a source who said that there is no threat to such landmarks and buildings, but law enforcement is taking no chances with preparedness. On Friday, a Virginia man was arrested after trying to pass a police checkpoint in the nation’s capitol with a 9mm handgun, high-capacity magazine, and over 500 rounds of ammunition. He was released on his own recognizance and told by a judge to stay out of the District of Columbia.

Trump Faces “Incitement of Insurrection” Charge in Impeachment Resolution From House Democrats

Screen Shot 2021 01 12 at 8.43.40 AM

Yesterday (January 11), Democrats from the House of Representatives formally introduced their impeachment resolution for Donald rump, charging the outgoing POTUS with incitement of insurrection following last week’s riots on Capitol Hill.

The House is voting on the resolution this week, which if put in motion, could make him the first U.S. President to ever be impeached twice.

The resolution states, “In all this, President Trump gravely endangered the security of the United States and its institutions of Government. He threatened the integrity of the democratic system, interfered with the peaceful transition of power, and imperiled a coequal branch of Government. He thereby betrayed his trust as President, to the manifest injury of the people of the United States.”

The resolution cited the 14th Amendment of the Constitution, which states it “prohibits any person who has ‘engaged in insurrection or rebellion against’ the United States” from holding office.

According to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the Dems will make a motion to bring the resolution to a floor vote January 12 (today), with an impeachment vote expected in a day or two following the floor vote.
