Blunt slams Trump removal as Democrats say they'll file for impeachment

Missouri Republican Sen. Roy Blunt said impeachment of President Donald Trump won’t happen, while colleague Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) defended his role in the Electoral College process, which lead to the riot on Capitol Hill.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), said fellow Democrats would move to file articles of impeachment against Trump for the second time Monday if he didn’t resign. A president has never been impeached twice.

“I think it’s a ridiculous discussion to have,” Blunt said, according to CBS News. “I’ve got enough decisions to make about things that can happen rather than to spend time on things that can not happen.”

Sen. Lisa Murkowski, an Alaska Republican, also called for Trump’s resignation in an interview with the Anchorage Daily News. She is the first Republican senator to do so.
