Two House Democrats voiced support on Thursday for impeaching Attorney General Todd Blanche, according to a report from The Hill. Reps. Hank Johnson of Georgia and Deborah Ross of North Carolina made the statements, and the article was written by Finya Swai.
The Hill reported that the calls follow what its summary describes as sweeping midterm election defeats for the Republican Party. The outlet said the push suggests Democrats could win enough Republican support in the Senate to remove Blanche from office, a possibility the report raises rather than an announced plan.
According to The Hill's summary, the report opens by saying that two House Democrats are "already floating the impeachment of Attorney General Todd Blanche." That line is the only language from the account quoted in this story.
The Hill's summary says the statements came two days after an event, but the sentence breaks off before naming that event, so the trigger for the calls cannot be confirmed from the summary alone. The summary also does not assign a calendar date to the remarks beyond describing them as made on Thursday.
The Hill's summary does not say whether other lawmakers have joined the effort, whether a formal impeachment resolution has been introduced, or how Blanche has responded. Those details are not reported in the material available for this story.
Because this account rests on The Hill's summary, readers who want the full context should consult the outlet's report directly.
