Larson Votes to Consider Articles of Impeachment Against President Donald John Trump

Washington, D.C. - Today, Rep. John B. Larson (CT-01) voted to advance articles of impeachment against President Trump on the House floor. 

“Today, I voted to consider articles of impeachment against the President of the United States after conferring with my colleague, Ranking Member Jamie Raskin, the most knowledgeable person on the subject matter. A lot has transpired since the last time this issue came up in June, but we still have a process to seek accountability, and it must move forward,” said Larson. “President Trump has torn immigrant families apart, including in Newington, Southington, and Hamden, tried to deploy the military against Americans, illegally ripped up union contracts, and allowed ‘DOGE’ into millions of Americans’ private information with no oversight. He even had his Department of Homeland Security put out a ‘watch list’ targeting lawmakers and advocates, including myself, who have spoken up forcefully against these abuses of power. He is actively treating the Constitution like a suggestion, not the law of the land, because he believes he is above the law. Republicans in Congress have failed their duty to exercise any oversight or constraint. That is why I agree with my colleague, Ranking Member Jamie Raskin, that thorough investigations and public hearings need to take place, and the impeachment process should go forward and will be best effective when supported by investigations and examinations of evidence.”
