The House voted 237-140 to shelve Rep. Al Green’s latest effort to impeach President Donald Trump, with 47 Democrats voting present. Democratic leaders said impeachment requires an investigation, while Republicans called the effort a distraction.
The House rejected Green’s impeachment resolution, the second time this year his efforts to start impeachment proceedings against Trump were turned aside. The resolution cited Trump’s alleged threats against Democratic lawmakers over a video urging military members to refuse illegal orders. Green said impeachment was necessary because he believed Trump had committed “high crimes and misdemeanors.”
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and other Democratic leaders said they voted present because a comprehensive investigation had not been conducted. Rep. Mario Díaz-Balart dismissed the vote as a distraction, while Rep. Ted Lieu said Democrats would need to investigate and review evidence before deciding whether to impeach.
