A historic debate is underway in the House over whether to impeach him.
Republican Rep. Dan Newhouse of Washington, tweeted his statement where he indicated he we vote in favour of impeachment.
"Turning a blind eye to this brutal assault on our Republic is not an option," Newhouse stated.
"There is no excuse for President Trump's actions.
"Others, including myself, are responsible for not speaking out sooner — before the President misinformed and inflamed a violent mob," Newhouse said.
"The President took an oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Last week, there was a domestic threat at the door of the Capitol, and he did nothing to stop it. That is why with a heavy heart and clear resolve, I will vote yes on these articles of impeachment," he said.
Newhouse now joins other Republicans who have said they will vote to impeach Trump. At least six have said they will break ranks.
These are the Republicans who say they will vote for impeachment so far:
Rep. Dan Newhouse of WashingtonRep. John Katko of New YorkRep. Jamie Herrera Beutler of WashingtonRep. Adam Kinzinger of IllinoisRep. Fred Upton of MichiganRep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
