Congress and Impeachment

Rep. Shri Thanedar has formally introduced articles of impeachment against both President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Democratic leaders say the efforts are unlikely to succeed and risk distracting from the party’s priorities.

Michigan Democrat Rep. Haley Stevens filed an impeachment resolution against HHS chief Robert F. Kennedy Jr., making him the latest Trump administration official targeted by Democrats. The move drew no backing from House Democratic leadership — Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries declined to endorse and committee leaders said they were not involved — and prompted criticism from fellow Democrats who called it distracting or premature without a formal investigation and noted impeachment is unlikely to succeed in a Republican‑held House.
