Cobb Warns Impeachment

Ty Cobb, former attorney for U.S. President Donald Trump, says Democrats may draft impeachment articles after the 2026 elections.
He cites alleged misconduct, including a $500 million UAE bribe and a $480 million Qatar deal.
Cobb says impeachment could extend to Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and Attorney General Pam Bondi.
He argues Democrats must lead due to the GOP's loyalty to Trump, and he warns impeachment may fail with lawmakers.

History

Historical Context

President Bill Clinton was impeached by the House of Representatives on December 19, 1998, for perjury and obstruction of justice stemming from the Monica Lewinsky scandal. The impeachment reflected intense partisan divisions, with 228 votes in favor. This historical precedent resonates today as calls for impeachment against Donald Trump arise, potentially reshaping political dynamics amid a Republican congressional majority.
