Thanedar filed seven articles of impeachment against Trump on Monday.

They accuse the president of obstruction of justice, abuse of executive power, usurpation of appropriations power, abuse of trade powers and international aggression, violation of First Amendment Rights, creation of an unlawful office, bribery and corruption, and tyrannical overreach.

Three House Democrats—Representatives Robin Kelly of Illinois, Kweisi Mfume of Maryland and Jerry Nadler of New York—asked to be removed as cosponsors of the impeachment resolution on Tuesday.

Kelly and Mfume did so after learning the effort had not been reviewed by party leadership, The Hill reported. Only Representative Jan Schakowsky of Illinois remained a cosponsor as of Wednesday afternoon.
