Capitol riots: Trump says his speech was totally appropriate

Capitol riots: Trump says his speech was totally appropriate

US President Donald Trump

US President Donald Trump has said his speech before last week's deadly Capitol riot, when he urged his supporters to march on Congress, was "totally appropriate".

Trump dismissed as "ridiculous" efforts by Democrats in Congress to impeach him for inciting insurrection.

He leaves office on 20th January, when President-elect Joe Biden is sworn in.

Democrats in the House of Representatives say a vote to impeach the president will happen.

If the vote in the House is carried, Trump will become the first president in US history to be impeached twice. However, the impeachment will only lead to his removal from office if a two-thirds majority votes in favour in the Senate.

That would need the assent of a substantial number of Republicans and so far, few have shown any willingness to vote against a president from their own party.
