More Congressmembers File Articles of Impeachment Against Trump

HeadlineNov 16, 2017

In news from Capitol Hill, five Democratic lawmakers have introduced new articles of impeachment against President Trump. Congressmember Steve Cohen of Tennessee is spearheading the effort.

Rep. Steven Cohen: “We believe that President Trump has violated the Constitution, and we’ve introduced five articles of impeachment. The first is ob struction of justice, which deals with Mr. Comey’s firing. The second is a violation of the Constitution’s Foreign Emolument Clause, which deals with moneys he’s taken from foreign powers without the consent of Congress. The third is a violation of the Domestic Emoluments Clause, which deals with moneys he’s made from the United States at his personal businesses, beyond that of his salary, which is also forbidden by our Constitution. The fourth is undermining our federal judiciary. And the fifth is undermining freedom of the press.”
