If the House succeeds in impeaching President Donald Trump, he would become the first president to be impeached twice.

Rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol this week were still being identified Saturday as more video came out showing the chaos of the deadly mob incited by President Donald Trump.

Among those arrested was the rioter seen sitting at the desk of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a Republican legislator from West Virginia and a suburban Chicago CEO.  

House Democrats plan to introduce an article of impeachment as early as Monday, likely an article alleging “incitement of insurrection.”

Meanwhile, Trump was banned from Twitter late Friday “due to the risk of further incitement of violence,” the social media company said, adding that there was a risk of “future armed protests” at the Capitol. Trump attempted to evade the ban by tweeting from other accounts that have also been banned or had its tweets deleted.

Earlier, he said he would not attend Biden’s inauguration, an event for which ADL (formerly known as the Anti-Defamation League) says extremists have begun plotting their next coup attempt.

Shocking video shows Capitol Police officer crushed by mob

New video continues to pour in showing the violence of Wednesday’s storming of the U.S. Capitol, including a clip shared by CNN of a Capitol Police officer crushed as the large mob pressed into the police line.

The video, according to CNN captured by investigative outlet Status Coup, shows the officer yelling out as he is pinned between the masses and the door.

The video shows one person trying to rip away his gas mask as he appears unable to move. The officer is also seen with blood in his mouth. CNN reported that the condition of the officer was unknown but that he answered affirmatively when asked if he was OK.

FBI looking for man in Senate with zip ties, tactical gear

Holding five pairs of zip-tie handcuffs, a man in head-to-toe paramilitary gear coursed through the upper level of the U.S. Senate Chamber on Wednesday, captured by a Getty photographer as a mob of President Donald Trump’s supporters stormed the nation’s Capitol.

While his identity remains unconfirmed by officials, the man was not with security, who’d recently evacuated U.S. Senators and Vice President Mike Pence from the floor below. Experts say he was among the rioters who disrupted U.S. Congress’s certification of Trump’s election loss with violence, resulting in five fatalities to date.

For two counter-terrorism experts, the photographs bring to mind a recent plot hatched by a Michigan extremist group to take politicians hostage.

“He’s hunting for people,” said Malcolm Nance, a retired Navy counter-terrorism intelligence officer of 35 years.

Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick who died after pro-Trump riot was veteran 

U.S. Capitol Police officer Brian D. Sicknick, 42, died Thursday from injuries he suffered during the pro-Trump riot that breached the U.S. Capitol. He had served overseas in the New Jersey Air National Guard in support of the war in Afghanistan, eventually attaining a lifelong goal of becoming a police officer.

Police have not confirmed the circumstances of Sicknick’s death but said he “was injured while physically engaging with protesters” Wednesday.

Praise for his service poured in from family and elected officials Friday, and neighbors and coworkers recalled fond memories of his compassionate behavior, “kind face” and love of fishing.

Flags were at half-staff in his Sicknick’s hometown of South River, New Jersey, on Friday.
