ABC News reports that Democrats will present articles of impeachment against Donald Trump on the floor of the House on Monday, citing Trump for “incitement of insurrection” for his role in the coup attempt by his followers on Wednesday.
The articles will cite Trump “willfully inciting violence against the government of the United States” by firing up a crowd to take violent action against the Capitol. By his words, Trump “encouraged—and foreseeably resulted in—imminent lawless action at the Capitol.”
During a lengthy conference call with members of the Democratic caucus, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi reportedly said “The president chose to be an insurrectionist.”
