Trump parts with lead impeachment lawyers

Former President Donald Trump’s five impeachment attorneys have decided to depart with a little more than a week to go before his trial begins, according to CNN.com.

The decision was a mutual agreement and there has been no announcement about who will replace them. 

The lead impeachment lawyer, Butch Bowers, was one of the five who left and had been in charge of assembling the legal team for the trial.

CNN reported that Trump wanted the attorneys to argue there was election fraud rather than focus on the legality of convicting a president after he’s left office. 

Anti-Vaccine protestors temporarily shut down vaccine site

Drivers with a vaccine appointment enter a mega COVID-19 vaccination site set up in the parking lot of Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles Saturday, Jan. 30, 2021. One of the largest vaccination sites in the country was temporarily shut down Saturday because dozen of protesters blocked the entrance, stalling hundreds of motorists who had been waiting in line for hours, the Los Angeles Times reported. The Los Angeles Fire Department shut the entrance to the vaccination center at Dodger Stadium about 2 p.m. as a precaution, officials told the newspaper. The protesters had members of anti-vaccine and far-right groups, the Times reported. Some of them carried signs decrying the COVID-19 vaccine and shouting for people not to get the shots.

Fox reported that protestors shouted at people to not get the shots, even going up to vehicles saying the virus is not real. 

No violence or injuries were reported.

A winter storm affected millions of Americans from Minnesota to Maine as it continues to move east, according to ABC News

Snow fell over an inch per hour in parts of Chicago. It’s expected to spread through New York City as the storm gets stronger into the Monday afternoon hours. 

Weather models predict New York and Philadelphia will have 6-to-12 inches of snow and areas around Washington D.C and Boston will see 3-to-6 inches. 

The winter storm has not only caused snow delays but low visibility and icy roads are concerns for areas outside of the storm track as well.
