Legal scholars confirm Trump’s impeachable offenses
It’s another day in Trump’s America—and another day to stand up for what’s right. Get the facts to fight back.
“If what we’re talking about is not impeachable, then nothing is impeachable.”
Today’s House Judiciary impeachment hearing was another damning confirmation of Trump’s impeachable abuses of power.
Three Constitutional law experts confirmed—just like last month’s impeachment hearings did—that Trump committed impeachable offenses when he directed an extortion and bribery scheme to pressure Ukraine to interfere in the 2020 election.
As one witness, Professor Michael Gerhardt, said, “If what we’re talking about is not impeachable, then nothing is impeachable.”

Watch these must-see moments from today’s hearing—all confirming Trump’s impeachable offenses:
- Trump’s impeachable offenses endanger our democracy: “Drawing a foreign government into our elections is an especially serious abuse of power because it undermines democracy itself.” —Professor Pamela Karlan
- This is why the framers wrote impeachment into the Constitution: “If we can’t impeach a president who abuses his office for personal advantage, we live in a monarchy or under a dictatorship. That’s why the framers created the possibility of impeachment.” —Professor Noah Feldman
- Trump absolutely committed impeachable abuses of power: All of the witnesses—aside from the hand-picked GOP witness—agreed. Trump committed the impeachable high crime and misdemeanor of “abuse of power.”
