(Bloomberg) Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her top House lieutenants are holding a call Monday with fellow Democrats on their response to the mob assaults on the U.S. Capitol, a talk they’ll hold shortly after the introduction on the House floor of an impeachment resolution against President Donald Trump. News of the planned 2 p.m. EST Zoom call, in a memo sent Sunday to member offices, comes as Pelosi has yet to reveal a specific timetable for any.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the House will impeach President Trump as she and other Democratic congressional leaders continued leaning on Cabinet members to invoke their Constitutional authority to oust him. Trump’s incitement of the mob that took over the Capitol building has made him a threat to democracy, Pelosi said. The House planned a Wednesday vote on impeaching Trump for “incitement of insurrection.” Latest updates: 2:39 p.m. D.C..
