Republicans in Pennsylvania are appealing their Supreme Court’s decision that Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner’s actions in office do not constitute misconduct as they continue to pursue an impeachment trial.

The move to impeach Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner is back in action this week, with Pennsylvania state Rep. Craig Williams announcing that the House managers in Krasner’s impeachment trial have filed a 100-page appeal in the state Supreme Court, accusing Mr. Krasner of criminal conduct.

In November, the state Senate voted to call Mr. Krasner to a trial to answer for seven articles of impeachment against him, which if supported could result in his removal from office.
