Two Democrats file article of impeachment against Trump
< < Go Back
Two Democratic congressmen introduced an article of impeachment on Wednesday against President Trump, accusing him of obstruction of justice over his firing of former FBI Director James Comey.
The resolution says Trump “prevented, obstructed and impeded” the investigation of former national security adviser Michael Flynn by “threatening and then terminating” Comey.
“We now begin the effort to force the House Judiciary Committee to hold hearings on obstruction of justice and Russian interference in our election,” said California Rep. Brad Sherman, who sponsored the resolution. Texas Rep. Al Green is a co-sponsor.
The resolution had been expected, despite warnings from others in the Democratic Party that talk about “impeachment” is not helpful.
The Republican-led House is highly unlikely to move on the measure either.
