Rep. Steve Cohen introduced 26 articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump on Sept. 24, 2026, advancing a broad “trump impeachment” push that cites alleged abuses of power and violations of his oath, Cohen’s office said.
Cohen’s congressional press release described the package as “comprehensive” and said it names 26 separate high crimes and misdemeanors; local coverage reported the introduction on Sept. 25, 2026. Cohen’s office provided the details.
The filing is separate from H.Res.939, a resolution that appears on Congress.gov filed by Rep. Al Green on Dec. 10, 2025, which also sought to impeach Trump; the congressional record lists the text of H.Res.939 on Congress.gov.
Political outlets covering Cohen’s action described the new articles as addressing a range of conduct, including alleged abuses of power and actions related to immigration and national security, while noting that introduction does not itself trigger a House vote or trial.
Legal experts and commentators told reporters such filings typically begin with committee referral and can be held without floor action; news coverage stressed that an impeachment resolution must clear procedural steps before the House can vote.
The move arrives as House Democrats navigate narrow margins and internal divisions; recent reporting noted potential centrist defections and Republican splits that could affect any impeachment path. House defections report and Republican split coverage provided contemporaneous context.
