Steve Cohen files 26 articles of impeachment against Donald Trump

Representative Steve Cohen, a senior member of the House Judiciary Committee, has introduced 26 articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump. This filing represents the largest number of impeachment articles ever brought against a sitting president, surpassing the 11 articles adopted against Andrew Johnson in 1868.

The resolution alleges a wide range of misconduct, including abuse of power, violation of the oath of office, and corruption of the pardon power. Specific allegations include the deployment of military forces within U.S. cities, defiance of court orders regarding immigration enforcement, and the unauthorized removal of inspectors general.

Additional charges focus on the administration's immigration agenda, such as the imprisonment of immigrants in El Salvador and the use of mass deportation tactics. The filing also addresses military actions involving Iran and alleged extrajudicial killings in international waters near Venezuela. Other counts cite the president's alleged personal profiting from his office, attacks on the press, and the use of emergency powers to impose tariffs.
