Democratic congressor drives up officials against Trump

Washington (AP) – A democratic legislator starts the dismissal efforts to charge President Donald TrumpOn Wednesday at the past party leader with the attempt to force a procedural vote in the US house, which is expected to fail.

Rep. Shri Thanedar from Michigan announced his intention to advance and said that as an immigrant he wants to do everything to protect the constitution of the American constitution and his institutions. His decision criticized with Democrats contains seven officials against the Republican President.

“Donald J. Trump has been committed since the first day – bribery, corruption, the power taken over by the congress, created an illegal office in Doge, violating the rights of first change, ignoring proper procedures,” said the Member of the Congress in front of the house soil.

It would be the historic third time that Trump was exposed Office efforts After he was charged twice in his first term as President – first in 2019 due to fees related to Hold back military help for Ukraine How it was confronted against Russia and later an indictment for charges Cut up the uprising attack on the Capitol of A lot of his followers. Trump was Both times acquitted from the Senate.

Thanedar is not the only democrat that has signaled the efforts of Trump. But his decision to make it almost alone without supporting yourself from the party leadership comes as He faces his own political challenges at homeWith several main opponents who wanted to lose him in his congress district from Detroit.

MP Pete Aguilar from California, Chairman of the House Democratic Caucus, said that the democratic leadership would be right to take up all efforts in order to bring the officials from Thanedar to a complete voice and to describe the correct approach.

“At the moment, our focus is on the fact that health care will be removed from the American people,” said Aguilar. “This is the most urgent and worst that we could talk about this week.”

Aguilar added that Trump was “not a stranger for the survey”, but said that Thanedar was “not ripe and not in good time in view of the negotiations on the Republican Budget reconciliation package.

Democrats, which flocked from their weekly Caucus meeting, criticized the efforts of the office. They said the focus should not be on the survey, but on the Republican efforts to reduce the expenditure for important programs to which Americans rely on, such as medicaid and nutritional aid.

“There is no support for an indictment resolution. There were no hearings for creating a recording based on the survey. And this is only a procedure that is meaningless at this point,” said Rep. Hank Johnson, D-GA. “The sponsor is not synchronized with the mood and the trajectory of the house democrats.”

“The work we have to concentrate on is that the Republicans remove access to health care, remove nutrition support for hungry children and give the richest Americans and large companies tax breaks,” said Rick Larsen, D-Wash. “This solution has nothing to do with it.”

In the meantime, the spokesman for House, Mike Johnson, a narrow ally of Trump, Thanedar's office efforts sentenced as “appearance”, “an embarrassing political stunt” and “free” in an explanation. He promised that his party would take the efforts.

Timing is also the key. Thanedar's decision that Trump committed “high crimes and offenses” comes when Trump is Travel in the Middle East On his first major trip abroad of his second term, he violates a standard in American politics not to criticize the president as soon as he leaves the advantage of the US waters.

But Thanedar said he had partly because of Trump's trip abroad and the potential conflicts of interest, as the president seems to be Mix his personal business with his presidential tasks and consider to accept A wasteful gift of an aircraft from the Qatarian government.

“My voters want me to act,” said Thanedar of Associated Press late Tuesday.

“It's time for us to get up and speak. We cannot worry:” Is that the right time? “We can't worry:” Will we win this fight? “It's more about doing the right thing,” he said. “I did an oath to protect and defend the constitution. Mr. Trump too. He violated his oath and does unconstitutional activities. It is time for someone to get up and say that, and if only I am, then be it.”

Thanedar uses a procedural instrument to force a vote on Wednesday about whether the problem continues or the matter should be discontinued.

A top Trump allied, the Republican MP Marjorie Taylor Greene from Georgia, criticized Thanedar and rejected the efforts of office.

“It's Doa,” she posted on social media.

The elevation of a president or other US officials, as soon as they are rare, has become increasingly common in the congress.

Republicans opened in the house An inquiry of the elevation in the then President Joe Biden, a democrat, but shortly before the plot. However, the Republicans in the Congress did Charge of the Minister of Homeland of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas. The Senate dismissed two officials against Mayorkas. end his process.

Thanedar, who comes from India, said that he had come to the United States without many resources. He said he loves the United States and wants to defend its constitution and institutions.

When he took over the Detroit congress district, it was the first time in decades that the city was left behind without a black legislator in the congress.
