House Dems Introduce Article Of Impeachment Against Trump, Have The Necessary Votes
• Zero HedgeIt appears President Trump is about to be the first to be impeached for the second time as The Washington Post reports that House Democrats, which just formally introduced an article of impeachment against President Trump, have lined up the votes to impeach him for his role in "inciting an insurrectionist mob" to storm the Capitol.
"We actually have the votes," Rep. David Cicilline, the Rhode Island Democrat who has taken the lead in rounding up support for a resolution of impeachment, told The Washington Post.
"There's no doubt about that."
The article, co-authored by Reps. David Cicilline (R-I.), Ted Lieu (Calif.) and Jamie Raskin (Md.), states that Trump engaged in high crimes and misdemeanors by "willfully inciting violence against the Government of the United States." The full text of the article is as follows:
