Tlaib submits measure calling for impeachment probe into President Trump

WASHINGTON – U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Detroit, followed through on promises Wednesday to introduce a resolution asking Congress to investigate whether President Donald Trump has committed any impeachable offenses.

Trump, who has maintained he has done nothing wrong and has been the victim of a Democratic-led "witch hunt," is set to appear at a re-election rally in Grand Rapids on Thursday night. He has rejected any notion that he could be impeached.

The resolution now goes to the House Judiciary Committee, where Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., will decide whether it should be considered and voted on. If approved in committee, the resolution — which only calls for an investigation into potential "high crimes and misdemeanors" which could lead to impeachment — would then go to the full House for consideration.

The resolution faces many hurdles, however, and is unlikely at this point to move forward.
