Speaker Mike Johnson has named Marjorie Taylor Greene as one of the House managers for the possible impeachment trial of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
This comes after Ms Greene filed a motion to vacate after Mr Johnson made a deal with Democrats to fund the government until late September.
Committee Chair Mark Green, Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul, Ethics Committee Chair Michael Guest, and Reps Andy Biggs, Ben Cline, Andrew Garbarino, Harriet Hageman, Clay Higgins, Laurel Lee, and August Pfluger.
Ms Greene previously threatened to oust Mr Johnson in January. No Republicans have signed on to her motion to vacate to remove Mr Johnson and there’s speculation that some Democrats may vote to save him if it comes to that. But Ms Greene has insisted she doesn’t want “chaos”.
In a letter on Thursday, the impeachment managers and Mr Johnson told Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer that they’ll send two charges to the upper chamber on 10 April, urging the Senate leader to “schedule a trial of the matter expeditiously”.
They’re accusing Mr Mayorkas of “willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law and his breach of the public trust”.
