The Second Impeachment Report

Meer over het boek

With a foreword by Michael Cohen, former confidante of Donald J. Trump, this official report supports the first-ever second impeachment of a U.S. President, including the U.S. Constitution. In 2019, Donald Trump became only the third President to be impeached by the House on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. In January 2021, he was impeached a second time, marking a historic first. Amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, Trump faced criticism for his handling of the crisis and refused to concede his loss to Joe Biden. His rhetoric allegedly incited followers to storm the U.S. Capitol in a violent protest aimed at halting the certification of Biden's victory. This unprecedented event resulted in five deaths and led to Trump being banned from major social media platforms due to concerns about further violence. This groundbreaking report, released by the House Judiciary Committee and chaired by Jerrold Nadler, examines Trump’s actions leading up to January 6, 2021, the Capitol attack, and his response to the insurrection, making a compelling case for the urgent need to consider impeachment, even with only seven days left in his presidency.
