Representative Steve Cohen introduced 26 articles of impeachment accusing President Donald Trump of wide-ranging abuses of power, violations of his oath and conduct that Cohen says personally benefited from the presidency. The charges span election interference by sowing doubt about results; waging war on Iran without congressional approval; alleged extrajudicial killings in international waters off Venezuela; deploying military forces against U.S. cities; and multiple immigration-related actions, including a birthright citizenship executive order, use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia, alleged mistreatment at El Salvador’s CECOT prison, and defiance of court orders. The resolution also targets alleged unlawful withholding of appropriated funds, loyalty tests for federal workers, improper removal of inspectors general, abuse of pardon powers, punitive executive actions against law firms and universities, efforts to exclude and coerce news organizations, and violations of the Constitution’s emoluments clauses.
The move follows a narrowly defeated, narrower impeachment push by Rep. Al Green and comes amid sharp divisions within the Democratic caucus and a Republican-controlled House, making advancement unlikely. Cohen framed the resolution as a constitutional duty to hold the president accountable; he acknowledged it probably will not proceed. Impeachment would require a House vote to approve at least one article, and past impeachments of this president resulted in Senate acquittals.
