With only days left in his presidency, Donald Trump — silenced by Twitter and shunned by a growing number of Republican officials — faces a renewed drive by Democrats to remove him from office after he incited his supporters to storm the U.S. Capitol.
Democratic members of the House of Representatives will introduce formal articles of impeachment on Monday, Rep. Ted Lieu said on Twitter. The California Democrat, who helped draft the charges, said the articles had drawn 180 co-sponsors as of Saturday afternoon. A spokeswoman for Lieu said no Republicans have yet signed on.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the top congressional Democrat, has threatened to impeach Trump for a historic second time unless he resigned "immediately," a move the pugnacious president is unlikely to consider.
