US House Rejects Rep. Al Green's Impeachment Effort Against Trump
Lawmakers voted down the measure, with 47 members—including top House Democrats—choosing to vote 'present' rather than for or against.
The U.S. House of Representatives voted down an impeachment effort against President Donald Trump introduced by Rep. Al Green, according to a report by Anadolu Agency.
The report said 47 lawmakers voted "present" on the measure rather than casting a vote for or against it. Among those who voted "present" were top House Democrats, including Reps. Hakeem Jeffries, Katherine Clark and Pete Aguilar, Anadolu Agency reported.
The vote resulted in the failure of Green's effort to advance impeachment proceedings against Trump in the chamber.
Further details on the specific allegations underlying Green's impeachment push, as well as the full breakdown of the vote, were not immediately available in the source report.
