Rep. Brad Sherman, an L.A.-area congressman who joined the effort to impeach President Trump last week, is now circulating his formal proposal to colleagues and asking them for support. In a letter to other members of Congress, Sherman (D-Porter Ranch) says there's enough evidence to move forward with his resolution to impeach Trump and "the national interest requires that we do so." Sherman spokesman Shane Seaver said the congressman decided to circulate the resolution in part to gauge interest from other members. But so far, aside from Rep. Al Green (D-Texas), no other members have publicly voiced support for the formal effort to impeach Trump. Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Los Angeles), who called again for Trump's impeachment at Sunday's Pride event in West Hollywood, has not contacted Sherman's office, Seaver said.
