Democratic Representative Bennie Thompson introduced articles of impeachment against former President Donald Trump on April 29, 2025, marking the third time such action has been taken against him. The articles, titled "H.Res.1234," accuse Trump of inciting an insurrection related to the events of January 6, 2021, at the U.S. Capitol. Thompson, who chairs the House Select Committee investigating the January 6 attack, emphasized the necessity of holding Trump accountable for his actions, which he claims endangered American democracy. The move comes amidst ongoing political tensions and debates over Trump's role in the riot, with some Republicans dismissing the impeachment effort as politically motivated.
