WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. House will meet Wednesday to consider impeaching President Trump for ‘incitement of insurrection’ at the U.S. Capitol.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Tuesday morning told Democrats that the House will take up a resolution appointing impeachment managers on Wednesday, according to Democratic sources in a closed-door meeting.

The vote will allow the House to transmit impeachment articles to the Senate to kick off trial proceedings in the coming days.

Pelosi did not yet name the impeachment managers — who will present the House case against President Donald Trump — but House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff and House Judiciary Committee Jerry Nadler of New York are expected to be two of them.
