House Democrats have officially begun the process of impeaching Donald Trump.
The six representatives have introduced five new articles of impeachment, all revolving around the assertion that Trump is a danger to America.
The politicians say Trump deserves to be impeached for a string of failings.
Namely his firing of FBI director James Comey, who was leading the federal investigation into Moscow’s 2016 election meddling, which Democrats say was an abuse of power.
They accuse Trump of violating the foreign emoluments clause, which bars public officials from receiving gifts from foreign governments without Congress’s consent.
He is also accused of violating the domestic emoluments clause, which bars the president from profiting from his office.
Finally, the Democrats say the president has undermined two of the country’s central institutions.
They accuse him of undermining the courts and the press in ways that threaten the health of the nation’s democracy.
“Given the magnitude of the constitutional crisis, there’s no reason for delay,” said Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.), sponsor of the resolution.

Alongside Cohen in endorsing the articles of impeachment are Democratic Reps. Luis Gutiérrez (Ill.), Al Green (Texas), Marcia Fudge (Ohio), John Yarmuth (Ky.) and Adriano Espaillat (N.Y.).
Republicans have rubbished the claims, with Republican spokesperson RNC spokesman Michael Ahrens saying: “House Democrats lack a positive message and are completely unwilling to work across the aisle, so instead they’ve decided to support a baseless radical effort that the vast majority of Americans disagree with.”
