A California congressman this week joined the burgeoning effort to impeach President Trump. Rep. Brad Sherman (D-Porter Ranch) said at a news conference he was joining Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) to draft articles of impeachment against Trump. "Richard M. Nixon was required to resign not for the crime but for the cover-up, obstruction of justice," he said. Green and Sherman said they are each drafting separate articles of impeachment. While Green said he had not lobbied other members to sign on to his effort, Sherman noted the strategy to gain support from other representatives "is something that needs to be worked out."
