Rep. Al Green filed articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump and used privileged status to require a House vote this week. The article also reports that Reps. Haley Stevens and Shri Thanedar introduced separate impeachment articles against administration officials.
Green filed articles accusing Trump of calling for the execution of six Democratic lawmakers and threatening judges. Green said Trump was an abuser of presidential power; the article says his earlier impeachment efforts had not secured enough Democratic support, and that House Democrats voted down one in June.
The article also reports that Stevens introduced articles against Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., saying he had turned his back on science and public safety. Thanedar filed articles against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, citing reports about orders concerning a vessel and alleging that Hegseth used the military to kill people without evidence of a crime.
