Harvard Law Professor Laurence Tribe Calls for an Impeachment Investigation of President Trump

LEADING CONSTITUTIONAL SCHOLAR JOINS THE LEGAL ADVISORY BOARD OF NATIONAL IMPEACHMENT CAMPAIGN

CAMBRIDGE, MA – Harvard Law Professor Laurence Tribe, one of the nation’s most prominent constitutional scholars, has joined the Legal Advisory Board of the Campaign to Impeach Donald Trump Now, a growing national movement for an impeachment investigation of President Trump. The campaign, launched on Inauguration Day and led by two public interest organizations – Free Speech For People and RootsAction.org, is calling on Congress to start this investigation based on the President’s direct and ongoing violations of the two anti-corruption provisions of the US Constitution and based on the President’s apparent interference with a criminal investigation by firing FBI Director James Comey.

“It is now up to Congress to save the Constitution by initiating impeachment proceedings,” says Professor Tribe.  “Trump can’t say ‘You’re fired’ to the House of Representatives.”

Nearly one million Americans from across the country have already joined the campaign at www.impeachdonaldtrumpnow.org. In addition, nine communities, including Los Angeles, California, have passed resolutions calling for this impeachment investigation, and many other communities are expected to vote on such resolutions in the coming weeks.
