Washington (CNN) After violent pro-Trump protesters stormed the US Capitol on Wednesday, a growing number of Republican leaders and Cabinet officials told CNN that they believe Donald Trump should be removed from office before January 20. 4 of them called for the 25th Amendment to be invoked & 2 others said the President should be impeached.

"He has to be impeached & removed," said one current Republican elected official.

A former senior official said the President's actions were egregious enough to remove him even with such a short time left in his tenure.

"I think this has been a huge shock to the system," said the former official. "How do you keep him in place for two weeks after this?"

By impeaching & removing Trump, even at this late stage of his term, the Senate could subsequently vote to disqualify Trump from ever holding federal office again. On the other hand, invoking the 25th Amendment would require VP Mike Pence & a majority of the Cabinet to vote to remove Trump from office due to his inability to "discharge the powers & duties of his office."

Some Cabinet members are holding preliminary discussions about invoking the 25th Amendment, a well-placed GOP source told CNN.

The forceful denunciations of Trump are also unprecedented.

Mitt Romney, the Utah senator who was the only Republican to vote to convict the President on an article of impeachment last year called the President a "selfish man" who "deliberately misinformed his supporters" about the election.

Wyoming Republican Rep. Liz Cheney, a member of the House leadership, told Fox News: "There is no question that the President formed the mob. The President incited mob, the President addressed the mob. He lit the flame."

Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois dismissed Trump's Wednesday afternoon tweet asking rioters at the Capitol to "remain peaceful."

"That's cowardice," Kinzinger told Tapper. "He needs to stand up & say, I lost the election."

"They need to invoke the 25th Amendment immediately," said 1 Republican activist. #trump #donaldtrump #presidenttrump #25thamendment #impeach #impeachment #republicans #enoughisenough #gonetoofar #riot #uscapitol #mikepence #georgewbush #mittromney #trumpsupporters #thugs #anarchy #sedition #insurrection #mobrule

On February 26, 2012, Trayvon Martin was minding is own business while walking home from a corner store to his father's Sanford, Florida home.

Along the way he encountered George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watchman, who reported Martin to the police as acting suspicious.

Zimmerman, armed with a Kel-Tec PF-9 9mm semi-automatic pistol, began to follow Martin despite being told by dispatch: "We don't need you to do that."

A short time later an altercation between the two occurred. During the struggle Zimmerman killed Martin by shooting him in the chest.

Martin was 17-years old at the time and unarmed.

The killing igniting a national debate on racial profiling and civil rights.

During a 2013 trial Zimmerman was acquitted on the charges of second-degree murder and manslaughter.

An innocent life was lost while Zimmerman still walks around freely. 

We'll never know what Trayvon Martin might have gone on to accomplish, but today we honor him on what would have been his 25th birthday. May he rest in paradise.

The Wu Tang Clan's debut album "Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)" turns 25 on November 9th. The group has big things in store to mark the occasion,

Billboard reports the Wu will perform the album in full on May 27 at the Soundset Music Festival in St. Paul, Minnesota, and on May 28 to close the Movement Electronic Music Festival in Detroit.

In addition, the group is preparing to release it's sixth studio album. RZA is normally at the helm, but Ghostface Killah will take over the executive producer role for this one.

"RZA's a deep thinker. His subject matter ranges, I think, broader than all of ours," says Inspectah Deck. "Ghost is definitely a soulful type brother and has a deep consciousness, but he's more direct to what Wu-Tang is. Wu-Tang was beats and rhymes. Ghost picks the harder beats. He has songs like 'Camay,' so he's not gonna skip the women. There's going to be a lot more variety of harder stuff. RZA comes up with deep concepts, but Ghost brings it just a little bit harder."

Chloe Goins is not the 25th woman who alleges she was sexually assaulted by Bill Cosby. Chloe says the incident happened in 2008 at the Playboy Mansion when she was 18.

Cosby reportedly gave Goins a glass of vodka which she drank. Afterwards she began to feel dizzy and unsteady on her feet. Cosby took her to a room and the next thing she remembers is waking up naked with the comedian licking her toes while masturbating.

Goins details the assault during an interview with the Daily Mail.

"I was butt naked lying on my back on a bed and didn't have any idea where I was," she said. "I was in a bedroom and presumed it was in the mansion because I could hear music, I don't think it was Hef's room, it was just a nice room. I came to and remember seeing this big man crouched over me. It was Bill Cosby and he was at my feet, kind of licking and kissing them and I think he bit my toe as that's what woke me up. I kind of thank God for that because that's what woke me up and I came to. I was shocked, I said, 'hey, what's going on', he didn't really say anything, didn't explain anything or give a reason. He jumped up, pulled his pants back up quickly and left. He had seen that I was alert and bolted out of there, I was left in the room by myself."

Goins says she found her dress, but her panties were missing. She grabbed the friend she came to the party with and left. She told her friend about the incident, but didn't go to the police.

Unlike all of the prior accusations that can't be prosecuted because the statute of limitations have passed, Cosby could face criminal charges for Goins alleged 2008 assault if she chooses to press charges. She has not done so as of yet.

Cosby's wife Camille and his daughter Evin are speaking out in his support. Camille released a statement on Monday, December 15.

Evin lashed out at the accusers via her Facebook page.

"Rape is a serious allegation and it is suppose to be taken VERY seriously but so is Falsely accusing someone," Evin wrote. "When someone rapes a person they go to prison," she wrote Monday. "THAT should also happen to the person that has wrongfully accused an innocent victim. They are not ONLY destroying innocent people's life they are ALSO making it hard for the MEN and Women to find justice when they have been raped."
