On Thursday, another Democrat endorsed articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, a resolution presented in November by a halfdozen Democrats accusing Trump of obstruction of justice and other offenses. Democrat Carol SheaPorter of New Hampshire is the latest official to join the effort and is one of 12 House Democrats who represent a district won by Trump in 2016. This comes as a petition for impeachment launched in October by Democratic donor Tom Steyer has garnered more than 3.5 million supporters. At least 17 communities around the country are now on record calling for impeachment proceedings against Trump. “It is not acceptable to say that we will simply kick the can down the road and wait until after an election cycle to lay the groundwork for the impeachment proceedings,” says constitutional attorney John Bonifaz, cofounder and director of Free Speech for People. “We need to be laying that groundwork and making this call now.”
