– Congressman Steve Cohen (TN-9), a senior member of the Judiciary Committee, has signed on to 13 articles of impeachment against President Trump introduced by Congressman John Larson of Connecticut. The articles include Trump’s wide-ranging abuse of the pardon power; his unauthorized use of military force in Venezuela and Iran; and his deployment of the National Guard into American cities, among other high crimes and misdemeanors. Congressman Cohen made the following statement:  “Trump is the most corrupt president in American history and the harm he is doing to the rule of law and our nation’s reputation on the world stage is staggering. This kind of lawlessness must have consequences and, with no future election available to remove him, impeachment is our best tool.” Congressman Cohen introduced five articles of impeachment against Trump in November 2017 and twice voted to impeach him during his first term.
