Efforts to impeach Donald Trump increase as he starts second term

newsweek.com

Efforts to impeach Donald Trump have intensified as he begins his second term. The non-partisan group Free Speech For People claims Trump is disqualified under the 14th Amendment due to his role in the January 6 Capitol riots. The group also alleges Trump violated the Foreign Emoluments Clause by not selling his business interests, which receive payments from foreign governments. They cite various other claims, including campaign finance violations and inflammatory rhetoric. Currently, Republicans control both the House and Senate, making a third impeachment unlikely. Trump was previously impeached twice during his first term but was acquitted both times.
