Democrat Rep. Steve Cohen submits 26 impeachment articles against President Trump

Representative Steve Cohen of Tennessee, a member of the House Judiciary Committee, presented a set of 26 impeachment articles against President Donald Trump, calling him the most impeachable president in U.S. history. The charges encompass unauthorized military aggression in Iran, alleged extrajudicial killings in international waters near Venezuela, and systematic violations of immigration court orders, including the use of a detention facility in El Salvador and National Guard deployments to domestic cities.

Additional counts allege the president’s efforts to punish political opponents, assaults on the media, misappropriation of federal funds, and personal enrichment from the presidency. Cohen stressed his responsibility to confront what he described as presidential lawlessness, despite the Republican-controlled Congress likely blocking the measure. Earlier Democratic impeachment efforts, such as Rep. Al Green’s vote, also failed, with a few moderate Democrats voting present or siding with Republicans on related matters. In a separate initiative, Rep. Thomas Massie introduced impeachment articles against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and a recent Economist/YouGov poll found a narrow majority of U.S. voters support that action.
