Impeachment was the talk of Washington Wednesday, as Democrats huddled to discuss whether — and how — to proceed.

Some members of the Massachusetts delegation are leading the calls for President Trump's ouster. They include Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Congressman Seth Moulton — both presidential candidates.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been preaching restraint, without taking impeachment off the table.

So are we getting closer to impeachment proceedings against Trump?
