US House of Representatives convenes to try to remove Trump from office
Donald Trump is to visit Alamo, Texas, in his first public appearance since the Capitol riot last week. The president has largely kept his head down since inciting the violence last Wednesday, but is expected to talk up his anti-immigration initiatives during the visit on Tuesday.
It comes as Democrats prepare to hand Mike Pence an ultimatum: move to oust Mr Trump by invoking th 25th Amendment or he will face a second impeachment vote in the House of Representatives.
Meanwhile, the FBI is warning of plans for armed protests at all 50 state capitals and Washington, DC, in the days leading up to Joe Biden’s inauguration, raising fears of more violence like that seen last Wednesday.
