Blunt slams Trump removal as Democrats say they'll file for impeachment
Missouri Republican Sen. Roy Blunt said impeachment of President Donald Trump wont 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 didnt resign. A president has never been impeached twice.

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