Shri Thanedar of Michigan backed down from his attempt to force a vote on impeaching President Trump after it lacked support from his own party. The House was expected to vote Wednesday evening to table Thanedar's motion to impeach Mr.

Mich., who is facing a primary challenge from the left, to back down from his effort, calling it a "distraction."

Rep. Al Green, who was removed from President Donald Trump's address to a joint session of Congress, has filed articles of impeachment and accused the president of being "authoritarian."
