The money quote from the letter:

Anyone who watched a moment of Trump’s address to the rally could see that Trump is not mentally well. He publicly threatened his own vice president if he didn’t do the impossible and overturn the election. Top Republicans are openly calling for Trump to removed from office either through impeachment or the 25th Amendment.

Speaker Pelosi should not wait for Vice President Pence to respond. The Speaker needs to launch an impeachment vote against Donald Trump immediately. The safety of the nation is at stake. There is a bipartisan consensus that Trump is unfit to govern, and that the nation is not safe if he remains in power for one more day.
