US stocks retreated from record highs on Monday as the fallout from last week's Capitol riot continued.
President Donald Trump was permanently suspended from Twitter on Friday and has been barred temporarily or permanently by a mix of other social-media platforms.
A consequence of the Capitol riot could be Trump's early removal: Congress is exploring removing the president by impeaching him or urging Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment. House Democrats are planning to draw up articles of impeachment this week.
