House Democrats worked into the night to finalize impeachment plans, but they're expected to unveil two articles against President Trump during a Tuesday morning news conference, the Washington Post first reported.

What they're saying: Per Fox News, Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Eliot Engel (D-N.Y.) told reporters, "I think there's a lot of agreement; you’ll hear about some of it tomorrow."

The bottom line: Trump is unlikely to be convicted in a Senate trial, Axios' Alayna Treene points out.
