VOA常速英语2021--特朗普否认煽动国会骚乱（在线收听）

This is VOA news. Via remote, I'm Liz Parker. The debate continues on Capitol Hill in Washington D.C. over a Democratic-led effort to remove President Donald Trump from office. Democratic lawmakers accuse him of inciting supporters who stormed and attacked the Capitol last week. They are urging the vice president, Mike Pence, to invoke the 25th Amendment that would allow him and the cabinet to remove the president from office. But now, multiple House of Representatives Republicans say they too will vote in favor of impeachment. The third ranking House Republican leader, Liz Cheney of the state of Wyoming, announced she would vote for impeachment on Wednesday. She is joined by two other Republicans, Representative John Katko of the state of New York and Representative Adam Kinzinger of the state of Illinois. President Trump is to face a single impeachment charge - incitement of insurrection.

The president spoke to reporters as he left for a trip to the U.S. state of Texas Tuesday, saying "What I said was totally appropriate." He went on and said, "I want no violence." U.S. prosecutors are weighing sedition charges against at least some of the Trump loyalists who stormed the Capitol. The acting U.S. attorney in Washington, Michael Sherwin, says trespassing and other misdemeanor accounts against some of the dozens arrested so far may still be upgraded to sedition.
