4 hours ago
- Rep. Steve Cohen introduced 26 articles of impeachment against President Trump on September 24, alleging abuses of power, violations of oath, and misconduct across immigration, military, federal spending, and other areas.
- The articles include claims of undermining democracy, waging war on Iran without approval, targeting immigration policies like birthright citizenship, and allegedly profiting from the presidency.
- Democratic leaders are divided on impeachment; a prior effort by Rep. Al Green was shelved on September 15 with 18 Democrats voting to table it.
- Cohen acknowledged the resolution is unlikely to advance due to Republican control of the House and Democratic disunity.
- Trump was previously impeached twice by the House in 2019 and 2021 but acquitted by the Senate both times.
