House Democrat says he has filed articles of impeachment against Trump

Larson said Trump’s Iran threats and conduct justify removal, as Democrats and some Republicans warned the rhetoric could amount to war crimes.

  • On Tuesday, Connecticut Democrat John Larson introduced 13 articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, citing threats to "end a whole civilization" if Iran failed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
  • Trump's Easter message telling Iran to "Open the F**** Strait" or face destruction sparked widespread demands from Democrats to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove him from office.
  • Nearly 100 Democratic lawmakers are calling for removal, accusing Trump of "criminal lawlessness" and illegally militarizing domestic law enforcement to target citizens based on race, ethnicity, or political opposition.
  • Following Trump's announcement of a two-week ceasefire on Tuesday, many Democrats doubled down on removal efforts, maintaining his prior threats demonstrated instability despite the temporary pause in hostilities.
  • With Republicans controlling both chambers, impeachment removal faces long odds; prediction market Kalshi recorded 27 percent likelihood of removal on Tuesday, the highest point since Trump returned to office in January 2025.
