The House Judiciary Committee, controlled by the Democrat Party, called on Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office.
“President Trump remained silent even as insurrections broke windows, threatened U.S. Capitol Police, and scaled the walls of the Capitol,” the letter said. “Earlier in the morning, President Trump held a rally at the White House and told protesters ‘I’ll be with you’ and encouraged them to march to the Capitol to protest the certification of the electoral college votes.”
“A source said the 25th Amendment discussions are staff-based within the administration and with some Republicans on the Hill, and that they’re not particularly focused but stem from growing concern about the next two weeks and the potential for insurrections around the country.”
At least three WH aides resigned today including White House social secretary Rickie Niceta, top FLOTUS aide Stephanie Grisham and Sarah Matthews, a deputy in the press office.
Many more resignations potentially to come, as aides and R’s try to distance themselves from today.

“It required intervention from White House officials to get it done, according to the person with knowledge of the events.”
Allegedly, Pence was the one who gave the order to deploy the national guard to regain control of the nation’s capital.
“The Army activated 1,100 troops of the D.C. National Guard, an Army official said Wednesday, and Virginia’s governor dispatched members of the Virginia Guard along with 200 Virginia State Troopers to quell the violence in the nation’s capital.”
“The troops were sent to the D.C. Armory to be deployed to the Capitol and to other points around Washington.”
From The Daily Wire:
The New York Times added, “A source said the 25th Amendment discussions are staff-based within the administration and with some Republicans on the Hill, and that they’re not particularly focused but stem from growing concern about the next two weeks and the potential for insurrections around the country.”
The news comes after violence broke out at the nation’s capital following a rally that the president held ahead of the Electoral College certification. Large crowds stormed the Capitol Building, broke out windows, attacked law enforcement officers, and forced members of Congress to evacuate or shelter in place. At one point, armed guards had to barricade people in a room and had to draw their weapons to prevent the rioters from entering.
