An internal Republican war is underway, between people loyal to Trump and those who want to cut ties with him.

As the House of Representatives prepares to send the impeachment clause to the Senate on Jan. 25, dozens of influential Republicans in Washington, including former administration official Donald Trump, are quietly campaigning for proposals.

Advocacy efforts began in the House of Representatives following Monday's riots on Capitol Hill.

"Mitch told me he wanted Trump to leave," said one Republican congressman.

The Senate will begin trial of Trump on February 8.

"There are 10 Republicans who voted in favor of Trump's impeachment in the House of Representatives. But in fact there are probably more than 150 people on the same page," said Charlie Dent, a former Republican congressman.

More than a dozen sources told CNN that the campaign to silently entice Republican senators to turn their backs on Trump is based on the belief that accusing Trump is critical for the party's future.

"Trump has created a cult movement he can hardly break. The accusation can do it," said a former senior Republican official.

The lobbying effort includes behind-the-scenes pressure from Republican sponsors, calls from former Trump administration officials, and a memorandum that lists arguments currently circulating within the party.

The 9-point memo accuses Trump of "calling on supporters across the country to go to Washington, DC, to start rioting in parliament on Jan. 6".

The memo also pointed out that Trump "tweeted and issued statements against the Vice President, forcing Secret Service to evacuate Mike Pence from the Senate meeting room and take it to a safe haven".

McConnell also faces pressure from senators who want to stick with Trump.

"No, no, no," Wisconsin senator Ron Johnson said when asked if he would support McConnell if he voted to impeach Trump.

"If you want to remove Donald Trump from the party, you will be eliminated," said Sen. Lindsey Graham, a staunch ally of Trump.

But there are also ex-administration officials calling Republican lawmakers against Trump.

"I feel nauseous to see the President tweeting pressure on Mike Pence," said a former senior Trump administration official.

Earlier, more than 30 former Republican senators signed a letter calling for lower house members to vote impeaching Trump.

Since January 6, a number of aides working for a number of aides working for Trump's supporters of congressmen have resigned, including a senior staff member on the House Armed Forces Committee and aides to Senator Lauren Boebert and

Others hope more Republicans will come out against Trump.

The MPs held that McConnell's decisions would influence the views of others.

"The crowd was provoked by lies," McConnell said.

Because McConnell is known for being restrained and thoughtful, his words give hope to Republicans who want to break with Trump.

"I hope Mitch's institutional respect overcomes political prudence and leads him to the conclusion that Trump is hindering the party's future," said a former Republican official.

Meanwhile, other Republican senators have said they will vote to acquit Trump, citing former federal judge and conservative lawyer J. Michael Luttig in his Washington Post editorial posted on Jan. 12.

"I think many people want a reason not to condemn him," said a former aide at the Senate.

However, Gregg Nunziata, a former Senate Republican advisor, says there are still other legal experts in favor of the impeachment.

However, the fear of retaliation from Trump allies in the media and a group of voters loyal to the former president may stop them from turning their backs on Trump.

The former senior Republican official in favor of accusing Trump described it as an internal party war.

"I have learned sadly from experience that no one will lose money betting on Republicans' seemingly endless capacity to humble themselves and be cowardly," the former official said.
