What happened:

The storming of the United States Capitol was a riot and violent attack against the 117th United States Congress at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021

What does Impeachment mean?

Impeachment

Impeachment in the United States is the process by which the House of Representatives brings charges against either the President, the Vice President, or any federal officer for misconduct alleged to have been committed.

What was Trump's role in the riots?

Trump's role

 Trump continued to falsely claim that the election was stolen without any evidence to support this unreality, further riling up his followers to “take the country back.”

In a last-minute video message, Trump told the crowd to go home — then told them he loved them and believes they’re “very special.”

Video

You're about to watch John Mulaney's take on Trump.
