Thousands of demonstrators have staged rallies in dozens of US cities to urge Congress to impeach Donald Trump.
Protestors hoisted signs branding the
President an "illegitimate corrupt puppet" and chanted "lock him up" at the largest march, attended by 10,000 people in downtown Los Angeles on Sunday.
Smaller demonstrations were held in 45 other cities across the country, with organisers claiming the President had violated the US Constitution and obstructed justice.
Trump supporters staged counter-rallies in many cities, with police arresting three people after rival groups clashed in Philadelphia.
In LA, protestors carried a black coffin topped with red, white and blue flowers and a hand-written sign reading: "The Presidency 1789-2017."
A Democrat politician was among speakers at the rally calling for Mr Trump to face impeachment. Congressman Brad Sherman told crowds: "We have to act now to protect our country from abuse of power and impulsive, ignorant incompetence."
