Articles Of Impeachment Filed Against Linda McMahon For ‘High Crimes & Misdemeanors’
A representative filed articles of impeachment against Linda McMahon.
On June 25th, Representative Suzanne Bonamici (Democrat-Oregon), on behalf of herself and other members of the House of Representatives, filed articles of impeachment against U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon for ‘high crimes and misdemeanors.’
Article one notes that McMahon willfully and systemically refused to comply with the law, and a portion of that article can be read below:
“The Constitution provides that the House of Representatives “shall have the sole Power of Impeachment” and that civil Officers of the United States, including the Secretary of Education, “shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors”. In her conduct while Secretary of Education, Linda M. McMahon, in violation of her oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, to bear true faith and allegiance to the same, and to well and faithfully discharge the duties of her office, has willfully and systemically refused to comply with the laws of the United States, in that:
During her tenure as Secretary of Education, Linda M. McMahon has violated Federal law by illegally transferring the operations of 6 offices under the Department of Education to other Federal agencies. These actions fundamentally obstruct the ability of the Department of Education to conduct statutory oversight and disburse Federal funds appropriated by Congress through its authority under article I of the Constitution of the United States.”
Article Two has to do with McMahon’s false statements before Congress, and an excerpt is below:
“The Constitution provides that the House of Representatives “shall have the sole Power of Impeachment” and that civil Officers of the United States, including the Secretary of Education, “shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors”. In her conduct while Secretary of Education, Linda M. McMahon, in violation of her oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, to bear true faith and allegiance to the same, and to well and faithfully discharge the duties of her office, has made false statements during testimony before the United States Senate.”
McMahon serves as U.S. Secretary of Education under the Donald Trump administration. Back in May, it was reported that Trump purchased stocks in TKO Group Holdings, which has WWE and UFC under its umbrella.
