Texas representative filing impeachment articles against Trump over Gaza plan

A Democratic representative told the US House on Wednesday he was bringing articles of impeachment against Donald Trump for his proposal to "take over Gaza,” reported from The Guardian.

Trump’s plan, the Texas representative Al Green said, was a "dastardly deed” that amounted to ethnic cleansing.

The aggressive move came as Democrats stepped up their resistance to the fledgling Trump administration and its barrage of chaotic, power-grabbing new policies that many see as a coup


Green, a firebrand politician who launched a number of unsuccessful attempts to impeach Trump during his first term in office, is unlikely to find much traction on his latest effort. Pete Aguilar, the No 3 House Democrat, told Politico on Wednesday that impeachment was not an immediate focus of his caucus.


Green invoked the late civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr in lambasting Trump’s proposal to remove Palestinians from Gaza and rebuild the war-torn territory as a US-owned "Riviera of the Middle East”.
