Bonamici: "We are now forced to reckon with the grave reality that the President of the United States directly incited an attack on our government and country, and he must be held accountable.

For the sake of democracy, the Senate must now follow our lead, rise to the occasion, and swiftly convict the President of the high crimes and misdemeanors he has committed."
