Washington, D.C.’s leading federal prosecutor did not rule out charging President Donald Trump following the assault on the U.S. Capitol by supporters of the president.

In a Thursday press call, Acting U.S. Attorney Michael Sherwin told reporters that the Department of Justice will consider lodging criminal charges targeting any individual for playing a role in Wednesday’s riot. At one point, one reporter asked if President Trump could face charges, to which Sherwin replied: “I don’t want to sound like broken record. We’re looking at all actors here.”

“Anyone who had a role and where the evidence fits a crime,” he added.

Sherwin also said prosecutors filed 55 criminal cases in last 36 hours.

“I think that’s a good start, but in no regard is that the end. This is just the beginning,” he said.

Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser late Wednesday extended a public emergency for 15 days, blaming President Donald Trump for inciting his supporters to breach the U.S. Capitol earlier in the day, resulting in the death of a woman and at least 52 arrests.

One woman was fatally shot by Capitol police. Three others died due to medical emergencies, police said.

Bowser announced the emergency order extension during a press conference, stating it will run through he inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris on Jan. 20 to ensure peace and security in the city.

President Donald Trump revealed Friday that he would not attend President-elect Joe Biden’s Inauguration ceremony on Capitol Hill.

“To all of those who have asked, I will not be going to the Inauguration on January 20th,” he wrote shortly on Twitter.

Trump revealed his plans after reports indicated Vice President Mike Pence was willing to attend the inauguration if he received an invitation to the ceremony. A source from Mike Pence’s office told Breitbart News that the vice president had not yet decided whether to attend the event.

Typically, the current president and vice president attends the inauguration together with the president-elect and the vice president-elect. After the ceremony, the outgoing president and first lady leave the Capitol aboard Marine One and gets one last trip aboard an Air Force One to leave Washington, D.C.

President Trump and first lady Melania Trump will likely leave Washington, D.C., aboard Air Force One by themselves and not return.

To all of those who have asked, I will not be going to the Inauguration on January 20th.

Dem Rep. Clark: ‘Trump Needs to Be Removed’ — Impeachment Articles Could Be Brought ‘as Early as Mid-Next Week’

Friday, Rep. Katherine Clark (D-MA) called on President Donald Trump to be “removed from office” over the riots at the U.S. Capitol this week.

Clark said on CNN’s “New Day” if Vice President Mike Pence is not going to invoke the 25th Amendment, as has been reported, then Congress will move forward with impeachment. She expects the articles of impeachment to be brought against Trump “as early as mid-next week” as President-elect Joe Biden is set to take be inaugurated in less than two weeks.

“Donald Trump needs to be removed from office, and we are going to proceed with every tool that we have to make sure that that happens to protect our democracy. If the reports are correct and Mike Pence is not going to uphold his oath of office and remove the president and help protect our democracy, then we will move forward with impeachment to do just that,” Clark threatened.

“[W]e know that we have limited time, but that every day that Donald Trump is President of the United States is a day of grave danger,” she added. “So, we can use procedural tools to get articles of impeachment to the floor for a House vote quickly. We have already had Chairman Jerry Nadler, chair of the Judiciary Committee, say that he will use those tools to bring the articles as fast as possible.”

“When is that?” host John Berman asked.

“Well, that will be, you know, as early as mid-next week,” Clark replied. “We do have a process we have to go through, but let’s be clear what’s at stake here. We have a president who incited a seditious mob to storm the Capitol. We now have five deaths from that. And the harm to our democracy is really unfathomable.”

Donald Trump: My Supporters Will Have a ‘Giant Voice’ and ‘Will Not Be Disrespected’

President Donald Trump reminded the world Friday of the power of the America First movement who supported him for president.

“The 75,000,000 great American Patriots who voted for me, AMERICA FIRST, and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, will have a GIANT VOICE long into the future,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “They will not be disrespected or treated unfairly in any way, shape or form!!!”

This was the first time Trump posted on the social media account since he issued a video promising a smooth transition of power to President-elect Joe Biden.

The president defended his movement as Democrats called for impeaching and removing him from office or pressuring his cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove him. Even some of Trump’s Republican critics entertained the idea of impeachment.

Trump’s critics and the corporate media continue condemning his supporters after a violent group stormed Capitol Hill on Wednesday which resulted in the deaths of five Americans including a Capitol Hill Police officer.

The 75,000,000 great American Patriots who voted for me, AMERICA FIRST, and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, will have a GIANT VOICE long into the future. They will not be disrespected or treated unfairly in any way, shape or form!!!

Boris Johnson: Trump ‘Encouraged People to Storm the Capitol’

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has blamed President Donald Trump for violence in the American capital by some of his supporters, saying he was “completely wrong” to dispute the results of “a free and fair election”.

“All my life America has stood for some very important things. An idea of freedom, an idea of democracy,” proclaimed Johnson, who was himself born in Manhattan, New York, and only renounced his U.S. citizenship around 2017.

“[I]nsofar as he encouraged people to storm the Capitol, and in so far as the President has consistently cast doubt on the outcome of a free and fair election, I believe that was completely wrong,” the Tory leader told BBC political correspondent Alex Forsyth.

“I believe what President Trump has been saying about that has been completely wrong and I unreservedly condemn encouraging people to behave in the disgraceful way that they did in the Capitol,” he added.

Home Secretary Priti Patel, whose department is responsible, broadly speaking, for immigration, border security, and law and order in the United Kingdom, also laid the blame for the disorder in D.C. at the President’s feet.

“He basically has made a number of comments yesterday that helped to fuel that violence and he didn’t actually do anything to de-escalate that whatsoever,” she alleged.

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer, perhaps less surprisingly, also condemned the U.S. leader, with the knee-taking left-liberal saying the breach of the Capitol was the “culmination of years of the politics of hate and division”.

While Prime Minister Johnson is often portrayed as something of a British counterpart to President Trump, due to their shared support for Brexit and a number of more superficial characteristics, such as a reputation for colourful turns of phrase and striking hairstyles, the two are not particularly close politically.

Indeed, Johnson is a long-time supporter of large-scale legal immigration and amnesty for illegal aliens, and condemned Trump as “out of his mind” and “unfit to hold the office of President of the United States” in 2015, when he was a candidate running for the Republican party nomination.

Quizzed on remarks the future POTUS has made on Islamic immigration in the wake of several terror attacks and no-go zones in London, where Johnson was mayor, the Briton said: “I would invite him to come and see the whole of London and take him round the city except that I wouldn’t want to expose Londoners to any unnecessary risk of meeting Donald Trump.”

Such views are not particularly uncommon among Britain’s establishment right. One Conservative party parliamentarian who has blamed Trump the Capitol breach, Lucy Farris, is even a former Hillary Clinton staffer.

George Clooney: Trump Name ‘Will Forever Be Associated With Insurrection’

Hollywood star and Joe Biden surrogate George Clooney is the latest left-wing figure to seize on the Capitol Hill clashes as an opportunity to bury the Trump presidency, claiming that the incident has relegated the president and his family “into the dustbin of history.”

Speaking to KCRW’s “The Business” to promote his new Netflix movie, Clooney reportedly said that the storming of the Capitol building means that the Trump family will forever be tainted.

“This puts Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr. Ivanka, all of them, into the dustbin of history. That name will now forever be associated with insurrection,” Clooney declared, according to The Hollywood Reporter, which obtained an early snippet of the conversation.

He added, invoking a phrase that the left has pushed hard since Wednesday: “It’s devastating to watch the people’s house being desecrated in that way.”

Clooney didn’t mention the fact that President Trump and his three eldest children, Donald, Jr.,  Ivanka, and Eric, have all publicly condemned the clashes on Wednesday. The president told the protestors to disband and return home peacefully, while Donald Trump, Jr. tweeted that “this is wrong and not who we are.”

Ivanka Trump tweeted, “Violence is unacceptable and must be condemned in the strongest terms” while Eric Trump tweeted separately, “Prosecute anyone who crosses that line to the fullest extent of the law.”

In his radio interview, Clooney reportedly touched on former White House Chief of Staff General Kelly and who said he would have considered invoking the 25th Amendment, which provides for succession if the president becomes incapacitated.

“This is a big,  big difference,” said Clooney. “If this is what it takes to set us on the right path, I think that, not that it’s worth it, it’s not worth it in any shape or form, but at least we should find something hopeful to come out of some of this disaster.”

Numerous Hollywood celebrities are using the Capitol Hill brawls to demand Trump’s impeachment and even his arrest and imprisonment.
