Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser has expressed her concerns about the possibility of attacks in residential neighborhoods in the capital far from government headquarters and the Capitol building, while the security services continue to mobilize in preparation for the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden.

Bowser said, in an interview with NBC, that she is not only concerned about legislative headquarters in other states, but also about residential neighborhoods in the capital.

In the same context, she confirmed that the city police are working with the federal forces, and have plans to deal in the event of such attacks.

For his part, the head of the House Intelligence Committee, Democratic Representative Adam Schiff, said in an interview with CBS, that security concerns are high, and that what is happening reminds him "to visit the Green Zone in Baghdad and see many soldiers and checkpoints."

He continued, "I never thought that I would see this in our capital or that it would be necessary. There is a threat from local extremists of the nature of what we saw on January 6, revealing that there are people coming to the Washington DC area and bringing weapons, as well as the presence of threats in All the capitals of the fifty states. "

"I think the inauguration will continue and be done safely, but gatherings of individuals will be there, and those gatherings may turn into violence," he added.

In the same context, he indicated that "if there are members of Congress who helped in the events of January 6, then they should be held accountable."

Trump trial

Washington has already begun preparing for the trial of outgoing President Donald Trump on charges of inciting violence and causing the deaths of American citizens in the storming of Congress.

Democratic Representative Brendan Boyle has called for President Trump to be arrested, saying his place is in prison.

Trump became the first president in the history of the United States to be referred to the Senate twice for trial with the intent to impeach him, after the House of Representatives accused him on Wednesday.

For his part, Democratic Representative Jimmy Ruskin said, in an interview with CNN, that the president has committed the most serious crime against the United States, indicating that the Speaker of the House of Representatives is preparing to present the articles of impeachment in the Senate, explaining that he does not know when that.

Raskin added that the president incited the mob that stormed Congress and chanted the slogan: Hang the Vice President.

"We will conduct the parliamentary trial according to the rules set by the Senate," he said, adding, "We are devising a plan for the trial in order to reveal the truth and we will tell the story of the attack against the United States."

In turn, Republican Representative Peter Major said, in an interview with "ABC", that he did not wish to vote in favor of removing the president, but "this is a time for accountability," he said.

Major called on the Republican Party to restore citizens' confidence in the electoral process, saying that it was talk of stealing the elections that prompted the supporters of the president to storm Congress.

"My political path may end after voting in favor of impeaching the president, but a courageous step must be taken," he said, adding, "We are a nation of law and we have to put the country's interest first instead of the political track."

Ready to install

Aides familiar with the plans of US Vice President-elect Kamala Harris said that she will resign Monday from the California Senate in preparation for her inauguration on Wednesday with President-elect Joe Biden.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom chose Secretary of State Alex Padilla to complete the remainder of Kamala's term, during which President Donald Trump may be tried after completing his impeachment proceedings for a second time in the House of Representatives.
