Impeachment article has 200 cosponsors: US rep.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said he has reached out to Biden and plans to talk to him later Friday about uniting the country -- as he expresses opposition to the idea of impeaching Trump again.

“Impeaching the President with just 12 days left in his term will only divide our country more,” McCarthy wrote in a statement Friday. “I have reached out to President-elect Biden today and plan to speak to him about how we must work together to lower the temperature and unite the country to solve America’s challenges.”

McCarthy also confirmed he spoke with Trump on Wednesday to urge him “to intervene to quell the mob.”

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, meanwhile, told colleagues on a caucus call Friday afternoon she is planning to speak with Biden later in the day about how she wants to move forward regarding Trump after publicly calling for his removal from office.

In a caucus call with House Democrats, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told her colleagues that Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley assured her "safeguards" are in place when she expressed her concerns about Trump having access to nuclear codes in the last days of his presidency, sources on the line told ABC News.

She said she is planning to talk to Biden later in the day about how to move forward regarding Trump, according to sources on the call, after publicly calling for Trump's immediate removal through the 25th Amendment or through impeachment if Vice President Mike Pence and Cabinet officials refuse to proceed. 

"The president chose to be an insurrectionist," Pelosi said on the call, according to sources.

"Impeachment encourages conversation on the 25th Amendment. That’s picked up a lot of steam," she said.

Pelosi, according another source, said she is "emotionally" devastated by Wednesday but remains "dispassionate" about how to move forward.

More than half the caucus -- or 130 House Democrats -- are calling for Trump's immediate impeachment and have co-sponsored a resolution from Rep. David Cicilline, D-R.I. The House could take it up and pass it to the Senate as soon as next week.  

But some Democrats are urging caution, wary of derailing Biden's agenda. Pelosi wanted to take the temperature of her members before discussing her options with the president-elect.

Reddit has banned the subreddit r/donaldtrump for what it calls repeated recent violations over the storming of the U.S. Capitol.

"Reddit's site-wide policies prohibit content that promotes hate, or encourages, glorifies, incites, or calls for violence against groups of people or individuals. In accordance with this, we have been proactively reaching out to moderators to remind them of our policies and to offer support or resources as needed. We have also taken action to ban the community r/donaldtrump given repeated policy violations in recent days regarding the violence at the U.S. Capitol," the platform said in a statement.

Reddit had previously banned a similar subreddit, r/the_donald, which was a factory of toxic pro-Trump memes and narratives until the site took it down last year.

The president himself is not involved with these forums, though it’s not unheard of for memes to begin life there and in similar online forums before making their way into the president’s media diet.

Biden will move to release more doses of the COVID-19 vaccine when he takes office, a departure from the country's current procedure of withholding 50% of the supply to ensure second doses of the two-shot vaccine are available, a transition official said Friday.

“He supports releasing available doses immediately, and believes the government should stop holding back vaccine supply so we can get more shots in Americans' arms now. He will share additional details next week on how his Administration will begin releasing available doses when he assumes office on January 20th,” Biden spokesperson TJ Ducklo said in a statement.

A transition official told ABC News they have faith manufacturers can produce enough vaccines to ensure people can get their second doses in a timely manner, while also getting more people their first doses. 

The official also noted the Biden administration has long pledged to use the Defense Production Act as needed to help produce materials to ensure supply.
