Donald Trump faces articles of impeachment before Christmas

Democrat Representative Al Green has announced he will file articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump before Christmas.

Speaking in Washington D.C. on Thursday, Green told supporters he would introduce the measures as a privileged motion before Congress breaks for the holidays.

“There will be articles of impeachment filed before the Christmas break, this I will pledge to you,” Green said.

Newsweek contacted the White House and Green for comment by email.

Trump was impeached twice during his first presidency, but was acquitted by the U.S. Senate in both cases. Given that Republicans hold a majority in the House of Representatives, it is unlikely that an impeachment effort would be successful.
