Congresswoman Coleman Renews Call For Trump's Impeachment

PRINCETON, NJ — Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-12) is renewing her call and joining several other Democratic leaders in a push for the possible impeachment of President Donald Trump.

"I know that I said very early on that Trump needed to be impeached from office because he was incapable of carrying out the duties and responsibilities of the Presidency. And I quite frankly don't think he is even smart enough and I most certainly don't believe he cares," Coleman said in a video she tweeted.

Coleman has been calling for Trump's impeachment from very early on in his Presidency. She renewed her call on Tuesday after several other Democratic leaders issued a joint statement stating that if true, recent accusations against Trump involving one of his presidential challengers in 2020, Joe Biden, are an "impeachable offense."

Trump is accused of offering $250 million in stalled military aid to the president of Ukraine, under the condition that the country launches a probe into Biden and his family. Trump has denied the accusation, the Washington Post reported.

"The President has shown a disregard not only for Congress's oversight powers, but disregard for the rulings of the Supreme Court. I promised to fight for my constituents and that's why I'm calling for an #ImpeachmentInquiryNow. Keep speaking up, keep standing up, keep showing up," Coleman tweeted in July.

She had also pointed to the Mueller report, numerous investigations, private conversations and a weird friendship with Russian President Vladimir Putin and more for reasons for his impeachment.
