Dem Files Impeachment Articles Against President Trump
U.S. Rep. John Larson has filed articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, accusing him of war crimes and other violations tied to presidential authority. The resolution was introduced April 6 and referred to the House Judiciary Committee.
“Through his serial usurpation of the congressional war power and commission of murder, war crimes and piracy, Donald J. Trump has acted contrary to his trust as president,” the resolution states. It adds that his actions are “subversive of constitutional government” and harmful to the American people.
The effort is unlikely to advance in a Republican-controlled House. The measure has not gained traction beyond its referral to committee, according to the Congressional Record.
White House spokesman Davis Ingle dismissed the move, calling it “pathetic,” he said. “Democrats have been talking about impeaching President Trump since before he was even sworn into office,” Ingle said Tuesday.
The resolution comes amid escalating rhetoric surrounding Iran. Larson pointed to recent statements by the president, including a social media post warning that “a whole civilization will die tonight” if Iran does not accept a deal.
Larson said the impeachment effort is aimed at removing the president from office, arguing the administration’s actions risk American lives. “Donald Trump has blown past every requirement to be removed from office,” Larson said Tuesday. “His illegal war in Iran is not only driving up prices for American families — it has cost American lives,” he said.
In a separate statement, Larson called on Congress to act, citing constitutional limits on presidential war powers. “Congress cannot let any leader assert that he is above the Constitution,” he said. “Article I makes it clear that he must come before Congress to authorize acts of war,” he said.
U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy also weighed in, calling for the invocation of the 25th Amendment, which outlines a process to remove a president from office. Larson echoed that call, urging the Cabinet to consider that option.
Other lawmakers have made similar attempts. U.S. Rep. Al Green and U.S. Rep. Shri Thanedar each introduced impeachment measures earlier in 2025.
Political analyst Scott McLean, a professor at Quinnipiac University, said impeachment efforts often reflect pressure from party bases. “Their own base … demanded it,” McLean said, referring to past impeachment efforts against Trump.
Trump was impeached twice during his first term but was acquitted both times by the Senate. Any new impeachment effort would face a similar hurdle, requiring Senate conviction to remove a president from office.
Larson, who has served in Congress since 1999, is currently facing primary challenges, including from former Hartford Mayor Luke Bronin. Bronin supported the impeachment effort and called for Trump’s removal from office.
“The president of the United States is unstable … and a danger to our country,” Bronin said. “I’m glad that Congressman Larson has joined me in calling for his removal,” he said.
Hartford Board of Education member Ruth Fortune also backed Larson’s move. “Trump must be removed from office,” Fortune said, calling the impeachment effort “overdue.”
The resolution now sits in committee with no clear path forward.
She crashed down the staircase. But the woman who pushed her was the first to burst into tears. The pregnant woman hit the polished wooden steps hard. "You destroyed my life!"
She crashed down the staircase.
But the woman who pushed her was the first to burst into tears.
The pregnant woman hit the polished wooden steps hard.
"You destroyed my life!"
The blonde screamed as she gave the final shove.
She was certain a heavily pregnant woman could never fight back.
The elderly caretaker rushed over, convinced it was nothing more than another family argument.
At the bottom of the staircase, the pregnant woman lay motionless, one trembling hand wrapped protectively around her swollen belly.
Only one thing was different from what everyone believed.
The wrong woman was playing the victim.
The blonde collapsed into the caretaker's embrace, sobbing uncontrollably, demanding justice... demanding an apology... demanding sympathy.
Meanwhile, the woman lying on the floor was invisible.
Ignored.
Forgotten.
Slowly... without anyone noticing...
Her hand slipped into her pocket.
The blonde buried her face in the caretaker's shoulder, crying louder with every passing second.
She never noticed the silence.
The pregnant woman had stopped crying.
Stopped trembling.
The fear disappeared from her face as if it had never existed.
In its place appeared something far more terrifying—
A calm.
Cold.
Unshakable stare.
She lifted her phone to her lips.
Covered her mouth.
And whispered into the receiver with chilling precision—
"Detective Ruiz... it happened exactly as planned."
"Send everyone. Right now."
