Chicago: US Representative Luis Gutierrez has been one of President Donald Trump's harshest critics from Day One.

Now the Illinois Democrat says he's helping to spearhead the first coordinated attempt to impeach Trump.

Speaking Tuesday at the City Club of Chicago, Gutierrez said he and several fellow members of the House Judiciary Committee intend to "file articles of impeachment against Trump before Thanksgiving." (This year, November 23).

While the effort wouldn't be the first attempt to impeach Trump - Texas Democrat Al Green filed articles of impeachment in early October - Gutierrez told the Chicago Tribune that his group will be the first to make a coordinated effort.
