At least 10 new Dem members will carry Al Green's mantle and try to impeach President Trump
A coalition of incoming and outgoing Democrats, led by Rep. Al Green, intends to push impeachment of President Trump in the next Congress, with at least 10 new Democratic members expected to back the effort. The push cites Trump’s alleged corruption, including crypto dealings, and aims to force a House vote even as a Senate conviction remains uncertain. Organizers say grassroots pressure could widen support, potentially aligning more Democrats behind impeachment. The strategy foregrounds impeachment as a core mechanism, while acknowledging that constitutional processes and political realities could limit success. The plan also contemplates pursuing impeachment proceedings against War Secretary Pete Hegseth if warranted.

The coalition behind the effort includes Rep. Al Green and groups such as the Removal Coalition and Courage for Democracy Project, who spoke with Fox News Digital after a Capitol Hill news conference.
Green is counting on incoming Democrats, including Reps.-elect Melat Kiros, Nancy Lacore, Dan Koh, Chris Rabb, and Angela Gonzales-Torres, to carry the impeachment push forward after he leaves Congress.
Green pointed to Trump’s cryptocurrency dealings as an example of alleged corruption, framing impeachment as the only path to remove a president he views as corrupt.
Organizers conceded that even with House support, the Senate could again decline to convict, mirroring Trump’s prior impeachment outcomes, and they emphasized grassroots pressure to convert wavering lawmakers.
The coalition suggested that Senate procedures might offer additional routes to remove a president, though constitutional roles give impeachment to the House and conviction to the Senate, potentially complicating prospects.
A parallel focus aired by the coalition is the possibility of impeaching War Secretary Pete Hegseth, arguing that wrongdoing by the secretary could implicate the president, though no conclusions on legal liability were drawn.
