In an ongoing House Rules Committee hearing about the resolution to call on Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment, Democrats are pushing back on GOP Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio for continuing to suggest the 2020 election should be investigated for fraud.

When Committee Chair James McGovern, D-Mass., asked Jordan if he will concede that the election was not stolen, Jordan repeated Biden was the president-elect but wouldn't say if, in his view, Biden won fairly.

"He won the election because the way the process works is the last chance to object is Jan. 6, and the objection didn't prevail," Jordan said.

"If we want to talk about healing, we have to talk about truth," McGovern interjected in a contentious exchange. "And if we want to talk about healing, we have to deal with the issue of accountability."

Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., who authored the resolution, at one point asked if there's anything Trump could possibly do that would cause Jim Jordan to not defend him.

"Even after a mob of violent insurrectionists staged a gallows outside of the Congress and chanted, 'Hang Mike Pence,' even though they tried to force Mike Pence not to do his job, even after five people are dead, we continue to hear these lies and slurs about the 2020 presidential election," Raskin said.

Rep. Ed Perlmutter, D-Colo, also directly asked Jordan, "Joe Biden won the election, yes or no?"

"Yes, he won. But there are serious problems with this election that deserve an investigation," Jordan said, continuing to air his grievances until Perlmutter interrupted, "I asked you a yes or no question. Please! We're trying to bring this nation back together. Jim, please!"

Jordan, a Trump loyalist, received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from Trump in a closed ceremony at the White House on Monday.

House leadership is currently meeting with the United States Capitol Police's acting police chief and the new House Sergeant at Arms to discuss security concerns and threats related to Capitol Hill following the Jan. 6 riot, a top Democratic House aide tells ABC News.

The aide said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called the meeting, which includes Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., who chairs the House Administration Committee overseeing House security, and Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., among others in leadership.

Later Tuesday, there will be an all-senators briefing on inauguration security. The briefing will not occur in person.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer notified senators of the briefing, which will include representatives from the Secret Service, Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security, according to a Senate source.

Tuesday's meetings come after Democratic offices distributed a memo to colleagues on how lawmakers can be reimbursed for purchasing bulletproof vests and hiring security.

The House Rules Committee began meeting at 11 a.m. Tuesday to take up the rules governing floor debate for a resolution pressing Vice President Mike Pence to use the 25th Amendment and force Trump out of office.

"It is absolutely critical for us to make clear that this was a dereliction of presidential duties," said Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., one of the resolution's co-sponsors. "The president is not even minimally discharging the basic duties of his office."

A vote on the resolution is expected around 7:30 p.m., according to House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer’s office.

Democrats will give Pence "24 hours after passage" to respond and mobilize the Cabinet to remove Trump, said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in a statement Monday, otherwise the House will move forward with an impeachment vote as early as Wednesday, setting up Trump to be the first president in U.S. history impeached twice.

The House Rules Committee is expected to take up rules governing floor debate for the impeachment resolution -- which charges Trump with inciting an insurrection -- later in the day.

The president appeared before the press for the first time since last Wednesday -- the day his supporters stormed the Capitol following his remarks at a rally calling on them to march to the building -- when he departed the White House for Alamo, Texas, on Tuesday morning. He took the opportunity to criticize efforts to remove him from office.

"As far as this is concerned, we want no violence -- never violence," Trump said outside the White House. "On the impeachment, it's really a continuation of the greatest witch hunt in the history of politics. It's ridiculous. It's absolutely ridiculous. This impeachment is causing tremendous anger, and you're doing it, and it's really a terrible thing that they're doing."

"For Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer to continue on this path, I think it's causing tremendous danger to our country, and it's causing tremendous anger," Trump added. "I want no violence."

Trump is expected to hold an event related to the souther border later this afternoon. Before addressing impeachment, he said the wall has made a "tremendous difference" in stopping illegal immigration.

Virginia Rep. Abigail Spanberger called it “a point of sadness” after she joined her fellow Democrats and some Republicans Wednesday to vote to impeach Trump.

“Impeachment is necessary at this point in time because we have to make a clear statement that the incitement of an insurrection by a sitting U.S. president is absolutely unacceptable,” she told ABC's “Nightline.”

She acknowledged how close the president is to the end of his term, but said it’s still necessary to impeach Trump because it’s an “issue of accountability.”

“It’s an issue of law and order. It is an issue of ensuring that every person who holds this office in the future recognizes and knows and understands that in the United States of America, under no circumstances do we accept that the president … would incite a violent mob to insurrection for the purpose of holding onto power. It’s unacceptable, and generations into the future need to know that we believe that to be the case.”

The Democratic congresswoman has served Virginia’s 7th Congressional District since 2019. She said that the riot at the U.S. Capitol building last week during a joint session of Congress was “unimaginable.”

Spanberger also said it’s “ridiculous” to compare the Capitol insurgence to last year’s Black Lives Matter protests like some House Republicans did Wednesday.

“I have categorically denounced violence in all its forms, in any circumstance,” she said. “But this wasn’t violence. This was a domestic terrorist attack perpetrated by insurrectionists who lowered the flag of the United States and raised a flag with one man’s name on it.”

“It couldn’t be more different,” she added, “and false equivalencies are deeply saddening and disheartening, particularly for those of us who have sworn an oath to uphold the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic.”
