Speaker Mike Johnson and his band o' House Republicans be sendin' a letter to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, warnin' him to brace himself for the impeachment articles against Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas on April 10. Shiver me timbers, thar be trouble brewin'! Arrr!
Avast ye scallywags! The Senate be set to receive articles of impeachment against the Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, next month, as declared by House Speaker Mike Johnson. A letter was sent to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, informing him of the impending trial on April 10. Johnson, alongside 11 Republican impeachment managers, urges a swift trial for Mayorkas.The House had previously impeached Mayorkas on charges of failing to uphold existing laws and breaching the public trust. Johnson accuses Mayorkas of lying to Congress and the American people, leading to a crisis across the country. The Senate must now promptly address these articles, with Schumer's stance uncertain but leaning towards dismissal.Senate Republicans have called for a full impeachment trial to shed light on the crisis at the border. Despite the unlikelihood of a conviction, they argue for a transparent examination of Mayorkas' actions. The delay in sending the articles was due to ongoing government funding negotiations, ensuring no disruption to Senate proceedings.
