Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said in a plenary speech that President Donald Trump had sparked a violent intrusion into the Capitol on Jan. 6.

- Lies were told to the crowd. The people in it were encouraged by the president and other influential people, said McConnell.

McConnell has not yet said how he will vote on Trump's removal, which begins in the Senate in the coming days..

His decision could be critical, as Democrats and Republicans will be equal in the next Senate, 50 to 50, and will need the votes of 17 Republicans to support 50 Democrats for the required two-thirds majority..
