.@SecretaryAcosta must step down. As US Attorney, he engaged in an unconscionable agreement w/ Jeffrey Epstein kept secret from courageous, young victims preventing them from seeking justice. This was known by @POTUS when he appointed him to the cabinet. #AcostaResign

2. Can the house impeach a cabinet member?

8. There isn't one listed as having been impeached

But here's some interesting trivia, the first government figure impeached was William Blount, U.S. Senator from Tennessee
I did not know the House could impeach a senator
He was impeached for providing aid to Britain to seize Spanish possessions in Florida
Never went to trial because the senate had already expelled him

https://history.house.gov/Institution/Impeachment/Impeachment-List/

Found this on Justia
SECTION 4. The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

I would think civil officers would include cabinet officials

After the Blount impeachment an annotation was added

This point was established by a vote of the Senate holding a plea to this effect good in the impeachment trial of Senator William Blount in 1797. 3 Hinds’ Precedents Of The House Of Representatives Of The United States §§ 2294–2318 (1907); F. Wharton, State Trials Of The United States During The Administrations Of Washington And Adams 200–321 (1849); Buckner F. Melton, Jr., The First Impeachment: The Constitution’sframers And The Case Of Senator William Blount (1998).

10. great timing and bringing the issue to the front page of America

Event trumpers may be in support of it cause epstein was primarily democratic donor. they are cornering themselves.
