P12 P2 THE TOUCH OF KNOWLEDGE OUTGOING US President Donald Trump, accused of inciting his supporters to mount a violent insurrection on Capitol Hill — in which five people died — is all set to become the only US President to be impeached twice, with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi saying she would move forward with impeachment if Trump did n o t r e s i g n immediately . “If he does not, I have instructed the Rules Committee to be prepared to move forward with Congressman Jamie Raskin’s 25th Amendment legislation and a motion for impeachment,” Pelosi said. According to reports, nearly 160 House of Representatives Democrats have signed on the bill, which congressmen Ted Lieu of California and David Cicilline of Rhode Island began drafting while they were sheltering in a place during Wednesday’s chaos at the Capitol. If the process goes ahead, it will be the second time the House has pursued impeachment against Trump.

The White House dismissed the impeachment as a politiP7 cally motivated move.
