Democrat Files 26 Impeachment Articles Against Trump Over Iran War, ICE and Alleged Corruption
The resolution accuses Trump of abuses of power, immigration violations and personal enrichment, and Cohen says the 120th Congress should provide stronger oversight.
- On Thursday, Representative Steve Cohen filed 26 articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, marking the largest number of impeachment articles ever filed against a sitting president.
- Charges span from alleged extrajudicial killings in Venezuela and the war on Iran to violating emoluments clauses by "profiting personally and directly from the presidency," while also targeting immigration policies.
- Describing the Republican majority as "derelict," Cohen argued he must uphold his constitutional oath, framing the resolution as a comprehensive historical record of Trump's alleged lawlessness.
- The effort faces a Republican-controlled House, making advancement unlikely; Cohen acknowledged the resolution "won't go anywhere," following Rep. Al Green's separate impeachment attempt that garnered 147 votes nine days prior.
- This filing significantly exceeds the 11 articles adopted against Andrew Johnson in 1868, and while Cohen aims to provide stronger executive branch oversight, no committee hearing or vote has been scheduled.
