Increasingly isolated Trump threatened with second impeachment

'Gravely endangered of US'

The impeachment text -- signed by at least 180 members of Congress so far, according to Democratic congressman Ted Lieu -- laid blame squarely at the president's feet.

"In all of this, President Trump gravely endangered the security of the United States and its institutions of government. He threatened the integrity of the democratic system, interfered with the peaceful transition of power, and imperiled a coordinate branch of government," it reads.

Trump, who had urged his supporters to come to Washington on Wednesday for a rally opposing his November election loss, has remained defiant, even after finally posting a video Thursday in which he belatedly promised an "orderly transition" to the Biden administration.

But the president also said that "it's only the beginning of our fight."

That sort of language prompted Twitter to suspend Trump permanently on Friday and fueled Democrats' moves against him.

The Twitter ban drew an angry response from Trump, who in a statement late Friday accused the popular platform -- where he had more than 88 million followers -- of having "coordinated with the Democrats and the Radical Left."

Twitter not only suspended the @realDonaldTrump account but took action against others, including @POTUS, when he briefly turned to them.
