1:05Now PlayingThe U.S. House of Representatives paused for a moment of silence Tuesday evening, honoring two officers who died since last Wednesday’s violent protests at the Capitol.
Capitol Police Officer Brian D. Sicknick died after being attacked by rioters.
The connection of Officer Howard Liebengood's death to the riots was unclear, and people familiar with the matter say the officer’s death was an apparent suicide.
The U.S. House was pressing swiftly forward Tuesday toward impeachment or other steps to forcibly remove President Donald Trump from office, even as Trump blamed Democratic foes and not himself for last week’s deadly attack on the Capitol.
Already scheduled to leave office next week, Trump is on the verge of becoming the only president in history to be twice impeached. His incendiary rhetoric at a rally ahead of the Capitol uprising is now in the impeachment charge against him, even as the falsehoods he spread about election fraud are still being championed by some Republicans.
As lawmakers reconvened at the Capitol for the first time since the bloody siege, they were also bracing for more violence ahead of Democratic President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration, Jan. 20.
The House was first pressing Vice President Mike Pence and the Cabinet to remove Trump more quickly and surely, warning he is a threat to democracy in the few remaining days of his presidency.
