Rep. Shri Thanedar, D-Mich., announced on Monday that he introduced seven articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump.
‘Donald Trump has repeatedly demonstrated that he is unfit to serve as President and represents a clear and present danger to our nation’s constitution and our democracy,’ Thanedar said in a news release.
The articles allege wrongdoing by Trump including ‘Obstruction of Justice and Abuse of Executive Power,’ ‘Usurpation of Appropriations Power,’ ‘Abuse of Trade Powers and International Aggression,’ ‘Violation of First Amendment Rights,’ ‘Creation of an Unlawful Office,’ ‘Bribery and Corruption,’ and ‘Tyrannical Overreach’
‘His unlawful actions have subverted the justice system, violated the separation of powers, and placed personal power and self-interest above public service. We cannot wait for more damage to be done. Congress must act,’ Thanedar said of the president.
Fox News Digital reached out to the White House for comment but did not receive a response by the time of publication.
The impeachment push will almost certainly fail to go anywhere in the GOP-controlled House of Representatives, but marks the third instance of a representative filing impeachment articles against Trump.
The House impeached Trump twice during his first term in office, but in both cases the respective Senate votes failed to reach the threshold necessary for conviction — the second impeachment took place just before Trump left office, with the Senate acquittal coming after his term was over.
Thanedar was born in India and became an American citizen in 1988, according to his House website.
He has served in the U.S. House of Representatives since early 2023.
