According to the secretary of state's office, the president's and the Georgia GOP's legal teams have voluntarily dismissed four lawsuits related to the general election.

"On the eve of getting the day in court they supposedly were begging for, President Trump and Chairman David Shafer’s legal team folded Thursday and voluntarily dismissed their election contests against Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger rather than submit their evidence to a court and to cross-examination," a press release from Raffensperger's office read.

The release also said that the president's legal team is falsely claiming one case was dismissed “due to an out of court settlement agreement.” Raffensperger's office said that isn't true and that "correspondence sent to Trump’s legal team prior to the dismissals makes perfectly clear that there is no settlement agreement."

The three other lawsuits were also voluntarily dismissed by the Trump legal team with no settlement agreements, according to Raffensperger's office.

Former White House Chief of Staff John Kelly said he believes Trump's Cabinet should meet and have a conversation about the 25th Amendment, adding that if he was still in the Cabinet and had the opportunity, he would vote to remove Trump from office.

"You were a former member of the Cabinet, in addition to being White House chief of staff. If you were in the cabinet right now, would you vote to remove him from office?" CNN's Jake Tapper asked Kelly on Thursday afternoon.

"I -- yes, I would. One thing we have going for us here, Jake, it's only 13 more days," Kelly said.

"I don't think it will happen, but I think the Cabinet should meet and discuss this," Kelly said of the move. "The behavior yesterday and in the weeks and months before that have just been outrageous from the president. And what happened on Capitol Hill yesterday is a direct result of his poisoning the minds of people with the lies and the fraud."

Kelly said the president's actions Wednesday "didn't surprise" him but that he was "very surprised that those people would assault the people's house, do the damage they did and embarrass us all."

He went on to very bluntly criticize Trump, calling him "a very, very flawed man" with "serious character issues."

The Biden transition is deflecting when asked questions about Trump's potential removal from office, saying both Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris are focused on their duties and taking office in less than two weeks.

A spokesperson said Biden and Harris will "leave it to Vice President Pence, the Cabinet and the Congress to act as they see fit," when it comes to Trump's removal, and again urged Trump stop blocking cooperation with the transition.

Former National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster on Twitter joined a growing list of former officials bluntly denouncing Trump's actions leading up to Wednesday's riot.

"The reasons for yesterday’s criminal assault on our Congress and election process are many.  But foremost among them is the sad reality that President Trump and other officials have repeatedly compromised our principles in pursuit of partisan advantage and personal gain," McMaster said in a Twitter thread.

"Those who engaged in disinformation and demagoguery in pursuit of self-interest abdicated their responsibility to the American people. It was, in every sense of the phrase, a dereliction of duty," he continued, calling on the public to "reject conspiracy theories and false narratives designed to polarize us and pit us against each other."

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, in a new letter to Democrats on Saturday, asked members to prepare to return to Washington this week -- another signal that the House could take up and pass the impeachment article to the Senate after it is formally introduced on Monday.

Pelosi thanked fellow Democratic representatives for speaking with her on a conference call Friday and said she was taking their considerations into account. She did not specifically mention voting on impeachment in the letter, though.

"Since that call, I have received scores of communications from Members expressing your views about how we go forward and regarding a strong presence of our Caucus in the Capitol," she wrote. "Over the last few days, I have discussed your views with Constitutional lawyers, both inside and outside the Congress, to consider the parliamentary and constitutional options available to us."

"From what I have heard from Members, and from the deluge that I have received from the public, it is clear that, once again, the Times Have Found Us to save our democracy," Pelosi added in the letter. "We will be proceeding with meetings with Members and Constitutional experts and others. I continue to welcome your comments. I urge you to be prepared to return to Washington this week."

While Democrats are hopeful Republicans will back their effort, none have come out and said they would back the charge as drafted.

Pelosi said at a press conference on Thursday, "If the Vice President and Cabinet do not act [on the 25th Amendment], the Congress may be prepared to move forward with impeachment."

Some Democrats planned to connect with Republican colleagues this weekend to gauge their support and encourage them to back the effort.
