WASHINGTON — In the days after assault on the U.S. Capitol, some members of President Donald Trump’s Cabinet talked about asking him to resign or invoking the Constitution’s 25th Amendment to remove him from office, according to testimony released Friday night.
Michael Pompeo, Trump’s secretary of state, told investigators for the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack that Labor Secretary Eugene Scalia approached him about trying to get the president to quit.
“His request of me was, would I be willing to support or participate in a Cabinet meeting with the president?” Pompeo said, according to the deposition transcript.
