House Democrat Unveils Articles of Impeachment Against Trump
Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-Mich.) on Monday introduced seven long-shot articles of impeachment against President Trump.
It's the first time this year a House Democrat has tried to impeach the president or a member of his administration — though it will almost certainly not be the last.
Rep. Al Green (D-Texas), who was censured last month for disrupting Trump's speech to a joint session of Congress, has said he is planning articles of impeachment as well.
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) also privately floated impeaching Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, National Security Advisor Mike Waltz and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard over Signalgate.
Thanedar — who garnered a second primary challenger on Monday morning — said in a statement that Trump is "unfit to serve as President and represents a clear and present danger to our nation's constitution and our democracy."
"We cannot wait for more damage to be done. Congress must act," he added.
His articles of impeachment accuse Trump of obstruction of justice, abuse of power, usurpation of power, bribery and corruption — mostly related to the president's consolidation of power and personal finances.
The measures are almost certainly going nowhere, especially with Republicans in control of both the House and Senate.
Thanedar could in theory force a vote on impeachment, but has not said if he will do so.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) said at a press conference on Monday: "I haven't evaluated the articles. I haven't even had an opportunity to talk with him about it."
