Democrats deliver petition with 10 million signatures calling for impeachment

Democratic Reps. Rashida Tlaib and Al Green, alongside with a number of activist groups, delivered a petition to Congress on Thursday containing what they said were 10 million signatures calling on lawmakers to begin impeachment proceedings against President Trump.

The two are vocal advocates of removing Mr. Trump from office: Green introduced the articles of impeachment shortly after Mr. Trump’s inauguration in 2017, and Tlaib called on Congress to “impeach the motherf—er” in January. Tlaib also introduced a resolution in March calling on the House Judiciary Committee to investigate whether Mr. Trump should be impeached, which has seven cosponsors.

The initiative was organized by a coalition of liberal groups, including Need to Impeach, an organization backed by billionaire Democratic activist Tom Steyer, a vocal advocate for impeachment. At an event outside the Capitol with activists before submitting the petition, Green challenged what he called the “myth” that Mr. Trump wants to be impeached. Read moren
