House Speaker Mike Johnson on Thursday indicated he will send articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to the Senate shortly after Congress returns to Washington next month.The Republican speaker said he would send the two articles on April 10. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer plans to swear in senators as jurors in the trial the next day, according to his office.
Republicans took the action against Mayorkas to rebuke his handling of the nation's southern border, but critics, including a few Republicans, say the House did not demonstrate that the Cabinet secretary's actions reached the Constitution's bar of high crimes and misdemeanors.“House Republicans failed to present any evidence of anything resembling an impeachable offense,” Schumer said after the House acted.
