Democrats begin impeachment proceedings against Trump on Monday

Democratic Rep. Ted Lieu announced it on Twitter on Saturday.

Now the LIU states that there are currently 180 co-signatories to a new piece of legislation that will allow Trump’s impeachment following Trump’s capitol storm by Trump’s allies last week.

Earlier, Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi stated that “if Trump does not remove himself, he has no choice but to continue impeachment”.

Another passage, in which Vice President Mike Pence finds a majority within the government to use the 25th amendment and thus remove Trump from his power, seems to be no option at the moment.

A lot will depend on how Republicans act, and Trump’s popularity with millions of Americans doesn’t make it easy. Nevertheless, the process may still make sense, because even after the transfer of power, the Senate can rule that Donald Trump can never create political power.

Again, several prominent Democrats, including Ted Lieu, have also sent a letter to the New York Bar asking them to launch an investigation into Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani. They want him to be removed from the bar for his role in the alleged ‘coup attempt’. In a speech leading to the storm of the Capitol, Giuliani would actively incite the public by saying that it was a ‘CompeteHad to come.
