Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.) on Tuesday is calling on the House to initiate an impeachment inquiry against Attorney General William Barr, alleging that he had “undermined our judicial system and perverted the rule of law.”
Cohen, a member of the House Judiciary Committee and Chairman of the Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties, introduced a resolution on the House floor seeking to authorize an impeachment probe into the head of the Justice Department. His resolution is co-sponsored by 35 of his Democrat colleagues, including House Financial Services Committee Chair Maxine Waters (D-Calif.).
