At Least 10 Incoming House Democrats Back Trump Impeachment as Party Nears January Majority

Summary
At least 10 incoming progressive House Democrats plan to support efforts to impeach President Donald Trump, extending a campaign led by outgoing Rep. Al Green after he leaves Congress.
Green and allied advocacy groups say alleged corruption — including Trump’s cryptocurrency dealings — justifies removal, while Rep.-elect Angela Gonzales-Torres said she intends to carry the push into the next Congress.
January control of the House could give supporters a clearer path because impeachment needs only a simple majority there, though conviction and removal still require a two-thirds Senate vote.
The coalition acknowledged that hurdle, noting some anti-Trump Democrats question the legal basis or see little chance of Senate conviction after Trump’s two previous impeachment trials.
The same coalition also wants impeachment proceedings against War Secretary Pete Hegseth, arguing any wrongdoing by him could implicate Trump.
