Ocasio-Cortez Suggests Impeaching Trump and Supreme Court Justices

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez stated that Democrats are keeping all options on the table, including the impeachment of President Donald Trump and justices of the Supreme Court of the United States. Speaking with CNN, Ocasio-Cortez argued that the Supreme Court has "legalized a lot of" the president's criminality and predicted a wave of subpoenas and investigations targeting the administration.

House minority leader-elect Jim Jordan dismissed these prospects as "lawfare," claiming the incoming Democratic House majority will target cabinet members and private sector individuals. The White House previously warned that investigations into the executive branch could be illegitimate or cross constitutional limits, characterizing such efforts as illegal threats.

In response to the political tension, President Donald Trump ordered the United States Department of Justice to investigate threatening letters allegedly sent by Democratic leaders to Republicans and administration officials.
