The nonprofit Free Speech for People is leading a new nonpartisan campaign to drum up support for U.S. President Donald Trump’s removal—”Impeach Trump Again”— and reported as of Thursday the effort has already garnered over 100,000 petition signatures. The campaign is calling on Congress to launch an impeachment investigation into Trump and says that the signature numbers signal “widespread support” for a probe. “The overwhelming support for impeachment shows that the American public is not willing to accept King Trump,” said Alexandra Flores-Quilty, Free Speech for People campaign director, in a Thursday statement. “We need bold leaders in Congress willing to stand up and hold Trump accountable for his abuses of power and initiate an impeachment inquiry.” The petition, which was launched on Inauguration Day, calls on Congress to initiate an impeachment investigation into Trump based on potential violations of the U.S. Constitution’s emoluments clauses, his pardoning of insurrectionists who took part in the January 6, 2021 riot at the Capitol, and his “unlawful” and “corrupt” campaign practices. Free Speech for People also launched a campaign to build public support for Trump’s impeachment on the day of his inauguration back in 2017.
