Democrats introduce impeachment articles against Trump and Hegseth as nearly 100 lawmakers call for 25th Amendment [View all]

Source: Independent

Democratic members of Congress have filed articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth while nearly 100 congressional Democrats are calling for the president’s removal from office over his threats to Iran.

Rep. John Larson of Connecticut has filed 13 articles of impeachment against Trump for high crimes and misdemeanors, including the president’s “criminal lawlessness” that has “invited blowback against the United States and its citizens risking 9/11 2.0.”

The congressman accuses Trump of a “serial usurpation of the congressional war power” and “commission of murder, war crimes and piracy” with attacks in Iran, Venezuela and in international waters against alleged drug-running boats and elsewhere.

His proposal also accuses the president of illegally militarizing law enforcement and surging immigration officers into U.S. cities to unlawfully detain and deport “citizens or immigrants based significantly on race or ethnicity or political opposition.”
