Trump 'ran out of non-violent options' -Rep. Lieu

"After his efforts in the courts and threatening officials failed, he turned to privately and publicly attacking members of his own party in the House and in this Senate," Lieu said.

The House of Representatives has charged Trump, a Republican, with inciting an insurrection by exhorting thousands of supporters to march on the Capitol on the day Congress was gathered to certify Democrat Joe Biden's electoral victory.

The rioters stormed the building, sending lawmakers into hiding and leaving five people dead, including a police officer.
