With more Republicans on board, Democrats move on impeachment
Washington | With at least five Republicans joining their push to impeach President Donald Trump over the storming of the US Capitol, Democrats in the House of Representatives stood poised for a history-making vote to try to remove the President from office.
With eight days remaining in Mr Trump's term, the House was scheduled to vote on Wednesday (Thursday AEDT) on an article of impeachment accusing the Republican of inciting insurrection in a speech to his followers last week before a mob of them stormed the Capitol, leaving five dead.
