"A Congressman has introduced the first officially filed articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump. The measure, HR 438, was introduced on the House of Representatives floor in July. While he believes the impeachment will go through, he's not as confident that the president will be removed from office.
"Los Angeles-area Rep. Brad Sherman drafted and circulated the articles of impeachment, something he had vowed to do ever since Trump took office. According to Sherman, many House Democratic leaders have disapproved of his efforts. His only co-sponsor of the measure was Rep. Al Green (D-Texas).
"Democratic leaders have attempted to hush incessant talk of impeachment in hopes of focusing on health care bill revisions, economic issues and the investigation into Russia's interference in the presidential election. While some Democratic leaders joined in the 'impeach Trump' chants a few months ago, many of them began to realize that without evidence, these cries may have been premature and make the party look bad. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi was one of the voices of reason that urged party leaders to wait until investigations were complete.
"Sherman had initially promised Pelosi to hold off on the impeachment proposal, but went on to put it through anyway. " . . . Video
