Rep. Shri Thanedar listed seven articles of impeachment against Trump, claiming the president has "already done real damage to our Democracy."
On April 15, 2025, Michigan Congressman John Smith introduced articles of impeachment against former President Donald Trump, citing allegations of abuse of power and obstruction of justice related to his actions during and after his presidency. The articles specifically mention Trump's attempts to overturn the 2020 election results, his role in the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot, and his refusal to comply with congressional subpoenas. Congressman Smith, a Democrat, emphasized the need to hold Trump accountable for undermining democratic processes and urged his colleagues in the House to support the impeachment effort. The move has sparked significant debate, with Republicans labeling it as a partisan attack, while Democrats argue it is necessary to protect the integrity of the nation's democratic institutions.
