CNN: US lawmakers fear that their lives will be in danger if the Trump vote is removed
Sources confirmed to CNN today, Wednesday, that a number of leaders in the Republican Party want to vote in favor of removing the outgoing US President Donald Trump from office, but they are afraid for their lives and the lives of their families.
Sources told the American Network that about 10 or 20 Republican lawmakers are expected to vote in favor of removing Trump from office, indicating that there are many deputies wanting to vote in favor of the impeachment decision, but they fear for their lives and the lives of their families.
The sources added that some Republican lawmakers showed their courage and announced their intention to vote in favor of removing Trump from office, while others said they were still afraid of Donald Trump.
CNN pointed out that the White House continues to pressure Republicans, explaining at the same time that the Republican leader, Mitch McConnell, deliberately kept silent, and allowed the leaking of news that he agreed to vote in favor of impeaching the president.
The US House of Representatives voted today, Wednesday, to move forward with discussion of legislation on the impeachment process of President Donald Trump.
221 lawmakers voted in the House of Representatives, the lower chamber of the US Congress, in favor of approving the rules for discussions on the Trump impeachment document and the vote procedure on whether to approve or reject it, while 203 lawmakers opposed this agenda.
