President Donald Trump admitted for the first time that he was taking some responsibility for the attack on the US Capitol that claimed five lives.
He made the concession during a phone call with Republicans, party congress leader Kevin McCarthy said.
The confession was made when the leader faced pressure to be sacked after Democrats in the House of Representatives formally accused him of sedition until an uprising took place.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Monday she would continue her efforts to oust Trump if Vice President Mike Pence refuses to adopt the 25th amendment.
However, both efforts to get rid of him earlier and erase his hopes of running again in 2024, will likely take weeks.
The black event that marked a historic moment for the United States on January 7 will surely be unforgettable, with thousands of Trump supporters storming the Congress hall on Capitol Hill for dissatisfaction with the election results in favor of President-elect Joe Biden.
