Trump Impeachment Effort from Al Green Fails in Congress
Green called for Trump’s impeachment, and the House later tabled his measure.

SOURCE CHECK
TAP FOR WHYBreitbart is an identifiable, established outlet with a named reporter, but its strongly partisan orientation and limited sourcing here warrant a moderate score. The article attributes a report about late vote changes to Axios but offers little independent corroboration.
- Source type — A partisan outlet; the article is presented as opinion by the source classification, though its body mostly reports an event.
- Editorial standards — The text provides few sources or perspectives beyond Green’s quoted arguments and vote details.
- Author attribution — A named reporter is credited, with a brief author identification.
- Transparency — The article identifies the House vote and attributes the report about late vote changes to Axios.
The article gives a specific vote tally, names lawmakers and attributes Green’s claims to him. It is concise and includes little explanation of the opposing side’s rationale or independent context for the impeachment effort.
HOW WE SCORE ↗The article includes the vote outcome and Green’s case for impeachment, but does not explain why lawmakers supported tabling the motion or offer a response from Trump or his allies. Its reporting is therefore weighted toward one side’s stated rationale.
- Counterarguments presented — No substantive argument for tabling the motion is presented.
- Source diversity — Green’s statements are prominent; opposing lawmakers and Trump are not quoted.
- Opinion vs reporting — The article mainly reports statements and a vote, without sustained editorial argument.
- Omitted context — It offers little context on the basis for the impeachment effort or the reasons for the opposing vote.
The report is largely factual, but its headline foregrounds Democrats joining Republicans to defeat Green’s motion and the story gives space to Green’s accusations without comparable opposing arguments. The tilt is slight rather than overtly argumentative.
- Language tone — Most language is descriptive, with charged phrases attributed to Green.
- Headline — The headline emphasizes Democrats joining Republicans to defeat the impeachment effort.
- Source selection — Green’s case is quoted, while supporters of tabling the motion are not given a comparable explanation.
The House tabled Rep. Al Green’s effort to impeach President Donald Trump, with 23 Democrats joining Republicans in opposing the motion. The article reports a 237-to-140 vote, with 47 members voting present.
The article says Green called for Trump’s impeachment, accusing the president of abusing his power and citing Trump’s response to a video by Democratic lawmakers. Green urged House members to follow the example of civil rights activists Martin Luther King Jr. and Rep. John Lewis.
House Majority Leader Steve Scalise introduced a motion to table Green’s impeachment measure. The House approved it 237 to 140, with 47 members voting present; the article names several Democrats who voted to table it and says all present votes were Democratic. It also recalls an earlier Green impeachment measure that the House rejected in June.
