WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette (D-CO) today sponsored a resolution to impeach President Donald J. Trump for inciting a mob to attack the U.S. Capitol Building Wednesday in an attempt to prevent Congress from certifying the results of the recent presidential election for his opponent.

"President Trump is a real danger to this country." DeGette said. "Whether it be through the invocation of the 25^th amendment or by Congress's power to impeach, President Trump needs to be removed from office immediately."

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Following is a statement from U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette (D-CO) on the breach of the U.S. Capitol Building:

"Today, the president of the United States instigated a riot and urged his supporters to lay siege to the U.S. Capitol Building to try to prevent us from certifying the election for his opponent. Make no mistake: This was not a protest, it was an attempted coup. And I never thought I'd see the day that our own president would attempt to bring down our government because he lost an election.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – A bicameral group of federal lawmakers – led by U.S. Reps. Diana DeGette (D-Colo.) and Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-Ill.) and U.S. Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) and Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) – sent letters to some of the nation's largest tobacco companies demanding more information on the companies' exploitation of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic to market their vaping products to youth.
