Impeachment proceedings are underway Wednesday in Washington DC as the US House of Representatives debates whether to take action against President Donald Trump for inciting last week’s deadly riot at the Capitol. This comes hours after the House passed a resolution encouraging Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment in an attempt to remove Trump from office before his term ends next week.

RT America’s Rachel Blevins reports. Then Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, author and host of “On Contact” Chris Hedges weighs in.
