Sixty-two Democrats have signed on to a letter to Speaker Nancy Pelosi calling on House leaders to immediately reconvene the House of Representatives to reckon with the "assault on our democracy" that took place at the Capitol this week.

"We could take up the question of whether President Trump should be censured or impeached for encouraging a violent attack on the United States Congress, as well as Representative Raskin’s proposal that Congress appoint a body, as provided by the 25th Amendment, to determine whether the President is fit to discharge the powers and duties of his office," the letter reads.

It comes ahead of House Democrats convening by phone at noon to discuss a path forward on getting Trump out of office.

Republican Sen. Ben Sasse of Nebraska said Friday morning he would consider moving on articles of impeachment if the House brought charges against the president to the Senate.

"The House, if they come together and have a process, I will consider whatever articles they might move because as I've told you, I believe the president has disregarded his oath of office," Sasse told "CBS This Morning."

"He swore an oath to the American people to preserve, protect and defend the constitution. He acted against that. What he did was wicked," Sasse said.

Sasse is the first GOP senator to publicly express an openness to impeachment since Wednesday's insurrection at the Capitol. In the president's impeachment trial last year, Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah was the only Republican to vote to remove Trump from office.

Attorney General for the District of Columbia Karl Racine faulted Capitol Hill Police for failing to contain Wednesday’s insurrection but said his office will also investigate those who incited the mob -- including the president.

"Clearly, the Capitol was ground central in the mob’s behavior. Donald Trump Jr., Rudy Giuliani, even the president were calling on supporters and hate groups to go to the Capitol, and in Rudy’s words, 'exercise combat justice,'" Racine told "Good Morning America" Anchor Cecilia Vega in an interview Friday morning. "We’re going to investigate not only the mob, but those who incited the violence."

Racine also said authorities would use the Internet to identify the rioters who violated the Capitol and noted, "More people died at the Capitol of the United States than in Benghazi."

House Democrats are moving closer to launching a second impeachment effort against President Trump in the wake of insurrection at the Capitol -- an expedited push that could be voted out of the House as early as next week.

House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., signaled the speed at which the process could work in a statement late Thursday.

"We have a limited period of time in which to act. The nation cannot afford a lengthy, drawn out process, and I support bringing articles of impeachment directly to the House floor," he said, suggesting that impeachment effort would bypass the House Judiciary Committee entirely.

Democrats are expected to introduce a privileged impeachment resolution in the House as soon as Monday, which could tee up debate and a floor vote by Wednesday, if House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer reconvenes the chamber.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will convene Democrats for their first caucus call since events at the Capitol at noon Friday, where impeachment is expected to be a topic of discussion.

Trump has been quiet Saturday after Twitter announced Friday evening that it had permanently suspended the president's account.

"After close review of recent Tweets from the @realDonaldTrump account and the context around them -- specifically how they are being received and interpreted on and off Twitter -- we have permanently suspended the account due to the risk of further incitement of violence," Twitter wrote in a statement.

Trump's final tweet said he would not be attending Biden's inauguration.

After Twitter's announcement, Politico reported that the president went "ballistic" and “[scrambled] to figure out what his options [were].”

Hours after his suspension, Trump released a statement criticizing the ban and teasing a possible new platform.

"I predicted this would happen," he wrote in part. "We have been negotiating with various other sites, and will have a big announcement soon, while we also look at the possibilities of building out our own platform in the near future. We will not be SILENCED!"

"Twitter is not about FREE SPEECH. They are all about promoting a Radical Left platform where some of the most vicious people in the world are allowed to speak freely," he added.

Trump had attempted to post the same statement on Twitter using the official @POTUS account, but the platform deleted the thread, saying users who are banned cannot post from other accounts.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo blasted Twitter Saturday, comparing the ban of the president to something that would happen in China.

"Silencing speech is dangerous. It’s un-American. Sadly, this isn’t a new tactic of the Left. They’ve worked to silence opposing voices for years. We cannot let them silence 75M Americans. This isn’t the [Chinese Communist Party,]" he wrote on Twitter.

Former Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley also took to the platform to draw a comparison to China writing, "Silencing people, not to mention the President of the US, is what happens in China not our country. #Unbelievable"

The White House announced Thursday that the president planned to spend the weekend at Camp David before notifying reporters that the trip was canceled. The president has nothing on his schedule Saturday.
