Orlando, Fla. — More than a dozen members of the U.S. House Judiciary Committee will announce articles of impeachment for President Trump.
Reps. David Cicilline (R-RI), Ted Lieu (R-CA) and Jamie Raskin (D-MD) have authored the articles, according to their Twitter accounts (see below).
A letter was sent to Vice President Mike Pence signed by 19 House committee members.
Dear @VP @Mike_Pence: In light of the #CapitolRiots yesterday, there are bipartisan calls for you to invoke the 25th Amendment. @realDonaldTrump remains delusional, dangerous and angry. Below again is the letter from Rep @davidcicilline, me & many Members of @HouseJudiciary. https://t.co/5eWTvp1OUF pic.twitter.com/NShB8TIt2o

“The world watched aghast as as insurrectionists, who had been egged on by the President, threated the safety of elected officials and staff and destroyed public property as they stormed and occupied both the House and Senate chambers bringing our democracy to a halt,” the letter reads.
Florida congressman Ted Deutch is among the members who signed the letter.
Next few hours on Capitol Hill should provide some interesting insights into what's next in the final 13 days of President Trump's term in office.
