WASHINGTON (AP) Warnings flashing, Democrats in Congress laid plans Friday for swift impeachment of President Donald Trump, demanding decisive, immediate action to ensure an “unhinged” commander in chief can’t add to the damage they say he’s inflicted or even ignite nuclear war in his final days in office.

With less than two weeks until he’s gone, Democrats want him out now and he has few defenders speaking up for him in his own Republican party.
