Two Illinois Democrats Join Push for Impeachment Inquiry

Freshman Rep. Sean Casten (D-IL), who flipped a suburban Chicago congressional district in 2018, told the Chicago Sun-Times he backs launching an impeachment inquiry into President Trump.

“His public call stands out because Casten is only the third in this group of 44 to support an impeachment inquiry. Casten joins freshmen Katie Porter of California and Tom Malinkowski of New Jersey – a friend whose office is down the hall from Casten’s.”

Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) also on Wednesday called for a Trump impeachment inquiry, notable since she is part of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s leadership team and the speaker has counseled restraint.
