Impeachment article has 200 cosponsors: US rep.

White House deputy press secretary Judd Deere has issued a statement in response to movement on Capitol Hill to impeach Trump for a second time.

“As President Trump said yesterday, this is a time for healing and unity as one Nation. A politically motivated impeachment against a President, who has done a great job, with 12 days remaining in his term will only serve to further divide our great country," the statement read.

Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska said in an interview with the Anchorage Daily News that she wants Trump to resign and questioned whether she would remain a part of the Republican party.

"I want him to resign. I want him out. He has caused enough damage," Murkowski said. 

She attributed the violence at the Capitol Wednesday to Trump and said that if the Republican Party cannot separate itself from the president she questions her place in it.

"If the Republican Party has become nothing more than the party of Trump, I sincerely question whether this is the party for me," she said.

After directing questions on impeachment to Congress, Biden said he thinks the "quickest way" for Trump to be removed from office is with his own inauguration on Jan. 20 and it's a "good thing" Trump isn't showing up.

"One of the few things he and I have ever agreed on. It's a good thing, him not showing up," Biden said. "Because he has clearly demonstrated -- he’s exceeded even my worst notions about him. He's been an embarrassment to the country, embarrassed us around the world -- not worthy, not worthy to hold that office."

"If we were six months out, we should be moving everything to get him out of office -- impeaching him again, invoke -- trying to invoke the 25th amendment, whatever it took to get him out of office, but I am focused now on us taking control," he added.

Biden said he hasn't spoken with Vice President Mike Pence but that he'd be "honored" to have him at the inauguration.

House Democrats are expected to charge Trump with inciting insurrection in an impeachment article that will be released on Monday, according to the latest draft of the charge obtained by ABC News. 

A single article of impeachment, "incitement of insurrection," charges Trump with "willfully inciting violence against the government of the United States" with comments at the rally outside the White House that "encouraged—and foreseeably resulted in—imminent lawless action at the. Capitol," according to a draft.

It also makes note of Trump's threatening call to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger. 

At least 153 Democrats planned to co-sponsor the measure, as of Friday afternoon.
