Public Interest Group Calls for Immediate Impeachment Investigation Against President Trump

"Trump's return to the White House poses an unprecedented threat to our democracy."

WASHINGTON, D.C. (January 20, 2025) – Impeach Trump, a nonpartisan campaign led by Free Speech For People, launched on Inauguration Day with a petition demanding that Congress immediately commence an impeachment investigation into President Donald Trump for his violations of the Emoluments Clauses and his corrupt campaign practices.

John Bonifaz, President of Free Speech For People and co-author of The Constitution Demands It: The Case For The Impeachment of Donald Trump, warned, "During his campaign and leading up to his inauguration, President Trump engaged in conduct that is not only unlawful and unconstitutional but threatens the very fabric of our democracy. He has set the stage to further abuse the power of his office for personal gain at the expense of our democratic institutions."

The campaign further highlights that the Constitution's Emoluments Clauses are critical safeguards against corruption, as they prevent any president from profiting from foreign or domestic sources while in office. Along with citing additional impeachable offenses from his 2024 campaign and early tenure, the group calls upon Congress to prioritize the nation's security and democratic integrity by investigating these matters without delay.
