President-Elect Joe Biden is asked if he thinks it’s a good idea for House Democrats to introduce articles of impeachment, as early as Monday. Biden says he’s long thought Trump was unfit for the job, says what Congress does is up to them. Says his priority is COVID.
Biden doesn’t say one way or another whether he supports impeaching Donald Trump a second time. Says it’s up to the Congress.
Biden says the next COVID relief package will be in the trillions of dollars. Details to be released next Thursday. Says if the US does not act now, it will get much worse later.
Biden says yes, when asked if the rioters stormed the Capitol should be treated as domestic terrorists. Calls them thugs. Says it will be a judgment for the Justice department for what the charges should be.
Biden says there should be a full blown investigation, noting the statement given earlier today by Maryland Governor Larry Hogan (R) who said his national guard troops were ready to help, but he couldn’t get authorization.
