Congressman Al Green to File New Impeachment Articles Against Trump

Houston Representative Al Green has announced plans to introduce new articles of impeachment against former President Donald Trump, citing what he calls "dastardly deeds proposed and dastardly deeds done."

 

Key Highlights:

Announcement: Green made the declaration during a speech on Wednesday, where he criticized President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Reason for Impeachment: The congressman denounced Trump's recent proposal for the U.S. to take ownership of Gaza and resettle Palestinians elsewhere, calling it "ethnic cleansing."

Grassroots Movement: Green emphasized that the push for impeachment would be led by regular citizens, not just politicians.
 

Green’s Statement:

"Dr. [Martin Luther] King was right. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. And injustice in Gaza is a threat to justice in the United States of America."

 

He urged the American people to take action, stating, "The people have got to move forward. The people have to demand it. And when they demand it, it will be done."

 

What’s Next?

Details about the specific charges and timing of the impeachment filing remain unclear. However, Green’s history suggests he will follow through, as he has previously attempted to impeach Trump multiple times.

 

Background: Trump's Past Impeachments

Trump was impeached twice during his first term—once over his Ukraine dealings and again following the January 6 Capitol riot—but was acquitted by the U.S. Senate both times.

 

Green has long been a vocal critic of Trump, pushing for impeachment even before these events. With this latest announcement, he continues his campaign to hold the former president accountable.
