A California congressman is introducing articles of impeachment against President Trump on Thursday -- the first day of the new Democratic majority in the House. Rep. Brad Sherman is reintroducing the impeachment articles that he first filed in 2017 with Democratic co-sponsor Rep. Al Green of Texas, a spokesman said. In 2017, the impeachment measure authored by Sherman and Green accused Trump of obstruction of justice over his firing of former FBI Director James Comey. “We shouldn’t be impeaching for a political reason, and we shouldn’t avoid impeachment for a political reason. Even if the Democratic-led House were to pass impeachment articles, the GOP-controlled Senate would then vote to acquit or convict.
