ABC's Ines de La Cuetara joined Andrew Rogers on KRDO's Afternoon News as three House Democrats are planning to introduce articles of impeachment against President Trump on Monday, meaning the chamber could potentially vote on his removal from office by midweek. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has not yet said whether the House will vote on impeachment, and the caucus is meeting at noon to discuss the idea after pro-Trump supporters ransacked the Capitol on Wednesday. But if leadership does decide to move forward, they could vote on articles of impeachment drafted Wednesday by Reps. David Cicilline of Rhode Island, Jamie Raskin of Maryland and Ted Lieu of California. The articles say Trump "willfully made statements that encouraged -- and foreseeably resulted in -- imminent lawless action at the Capitol."

Oct. 17, The Home Front exhibit opens
WWII was fought both at home and overseas, but in different ways.
Public opening Saturday, Oct. 17
Time: 10 a.m.
“The story of WWII aviation must include the Home Front; the social change and disruption, the building of a large military, the training of airmen, the building of aircraft, the innovation, in short the marshalling of America, were critical to success in the war,” said Gene Pfeffer, historian at the National Museum of World War II Aviation. “WWII was fought both at home and overseas, but in different ways.”
When America went to war in 1941, the entire nation went to war. The compelling story of the Home Front during WWII is a key focus of the museum. Volunteers have worked for several months to complete the planning and installation of the exhibit area that will tell the story of how America became the “Arsenal of Democracy,” providing war equipment, aircraft, weapons, materials, and expertise to defeat the fascist regimes of Germany and Japan.
The Home Front exhibit will consist of four display areas: The War at Home, Mobilizing America, Building American Air Power, and Women Who Served.
