Three House Democrats request removal from resolution to impeach Trump
Maryland Rep. Kweisi Mfume’s spokesperson said the congressman removed himself as a cosponsor because the resolution wasn’t properly vetted by Democratic leadership.
By
Three House Democrats have requested their names be removed as co-sponsors of a resolution to impeach President Donald Trump.
The resolution is sponsored by Michigan Rep. Shri Thanedar, a fellow Democrat, and the three who asked Tuesday on the House floor to have their names removed are Reps. Kweisi Mfume, of Maryland; Jerry Nadler of New York; and Robin Kelly, of Illinois, according to The Hill newspaper.
Their request was granted by the clerk.
Mfume’s spokesperson said the congressman removed his name because the resolution wasn’t properly vetted by Democratic leadership.
A spokesperson for Kelly gave a similar explanation.
“The Congresswoman was under the impression that the resolution was drafted and reviewed by both the House Judiciary Committee and Leadership when she originally signed on during a vote series on the floor,” the spokesperson said, according to the Hill newspaper.
Nadler’s spokesperson did not give comment.
