DOJ impeachments could continue Democratic retaliation against Ilhan Omar censure push

A Texas Democrat is planning to file impeachment articles against President Donald Trump’s top law enforcement officials as a partisan slap flight plays out on the House floor this week.

Dueling censure resolutions are currently awaiting floor votes that could come as soon as Wednesday afternoon after Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) took aim at Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) for comments made after the killing last week of activist Charlie Kirk. Rep. Greg Casar (D-Texas) immediately countered with a measure targeting Rep. Cory Mills (R-Fla.) who is subject to an ethics investigation and a restraining-order proceeding.

In swept Rep. Marc Veasey (D-Texas) on Wednesday, saying he is ready to take the retaliatory campaign against Mace up a notch.

“If [Mace] (soon to be a sucker and loser in her governors race) wants to strip [Omar] of her committees for words she never said, MANY people are saying we should impeach the incompetent Kash Patel and Pam Bondi for the lies they ACTUALLY TOLD!!” he wrote on X, referring to the FBI director and attorney general.

Veasey is drafting articles of impeachment for the two Trump officials, according to a person granted anonymity to discuss his intentions.

Mace, who is running for South Carolina governor, brought up her measure Tuesday under special expedited procedures that would force a House vote no later than Thursday. Casar did the same with his Mills measure.

A top Omar aide e-mailed all House chiefs of staff Tuesday with a rebuttal to the GOP effort, saying that “Mace is trying to censure Rep. Omar over comments she never said.”

Democrats could withdraw the measure targeting Mills if the Omar measure is withdrawn or fails on the floor. A similar measure targeting Mills was dropped earlier this month after a GOP-led effort to censure Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-N.J.) flopped on the House floor.
