President Donald Trump was impeached by the U.S. House for a historic second time, charged with "incitement of insurrection" over the deadly mob siege of the U.S. Capitol in a swift and stunning collapse of his final days in office.

Members of the lower house of the American Congress accused Trump of inciting a rebellion before the intrusion of part of his supporters into the Capitol Hill complex.

Prime Minister Edi Rama dismissed suggestions that the fatal shooting of the unarmed citizen was a result of a police culture of violence and called the event "an isolated one" - while announcing that Interior Minister Sander Lleshaj had offered his resignation.

The death of George Floyd has ignited protests across America and the world, reverberating as far as the gates of the US Embassy in Athens. Though some ruffians ransack American cities under the cover of protest, polls show that up to 54% of Americans support the call for justice.

Undeterred by curfews, protesters streamed back into the nation's streets on June 2, hours after President Donald Trump pressed governors to put down the violence set off by George Floyd's death and demanded that New York call up the National Guard to stop the "lowlifes and losers.''

US President Donald Trump on Monday threatened to deploy the military if states failed to quickly quell the violent protests that have gripped the nation for six days, hours after the brother of George Floyd, a black man who died in police custody, called for peace. 

Wielding extraordinary federal authority, President Donald Trump threatened the nation's governors on June 1 that he would deploy the military to states if they did not stamp out violent protests over police brutality that have roiled the nation over the past week.

President Donald Trump on Monday derided the nation's governors as "weak" and demanded tougher crackdowns on protesters in the aftermath of another night of violent protests in dozens of American cities.

Trump spent almost an hour in the bunker on Friday night, said an unnamed source who wished to remain anonymous.
An unnamed member of the Republican Party close to the White House said that Trump was quickly removed to the underground bunker due to the demonstrations in front of the White House, and that was confirmed by another official.

Major U.S. cities feared another night of violent protests on May 31 over the death of George Floyd in police custody, cleaning up broken glass and burned out cars after curfews failed to stop confrontations between activists and law enforcement.
