President Donald Trump’s speech condemning Capitol rioters and acknowledging his administration will end was “purely performative” and should not stop Congress from impeaching him, his niece Mary Trump said Thursday. “But of course, it was purely performative. There was not any truth in it at all, and if you listen carefully, he doesn’t actually concede the election,” Mary Trump added. Mary Trump says lawmakers should ignore Trump's scripted "concession" speech and quickly move forward on impeachment. The Wall Street Journal, a leading voice of the conservative establishment, also called for Trump’s resignation if not his impeachment.
