House Democrat unveils articles of impeachment against Trump

• Rep. Al Green (D-Texas), who was censured last month for disrupting Trump's speech to a joint session of Congress, has said he is planning articles of impeachment as well.
• Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) also privately floated impeaching Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, National Security Advisor Mike Waltz and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard over Signalgate.

Driving the news: Thanedar — who garnered a second primary challenger on Monday morning — said in a statement that Trump is "unfit to serve as President and represents a clear and present danger to our nation's constitution and our democracy."

• "We cannot wait for more damage to be done. Congress must act," he added.
• His articles of impeachment accuse Trump of obstruction of justice, abuse of power, usurpation of power, bribery and corruption — mostly related to the president's consolidation of power and personal finances.

Reality check: The measures are almost certainly going nowhere, especially with Republicans in control of both the House and Senate.

• Thanedar could in theory force a vote on impeachment, but has not said if he will do so.
• House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) said at a press conference on Monday: "I haven't evaluated the articles. I haven't even had an opportunity to talk with him about it."
• A White House spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
