House Republican leaders hold news conference after Mayorkas impeachment: Watch live
House Republican leaders are scheduled to hold a press conference Wednesday morning after a historic vote Tuesday night ended with the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
The House GOP, who have accused Mayorkas of violating the law by failing to detain record numbers of migrants at the southern border, narrowly secured the vote on their second attempt.
Mayorkas is the first Cabinet official to be impeached since the 1870s, a vote made all the more remarkable by Republicans’ inability to pass the same articles of impeachment last week, when three GOP members joined Democrats to tank the resolution, citing concerns their colleagues were abusing their impeachment power.
The event is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. EST.
