Greene Pauses Mayorkas Impeachment After GOP Leadership Guarantees Future Action
-
Greene called off her second effort to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas after getting a "guarantee" from GOP leadership that impeachment proceedings would move forward.
-
Greene said the timeline for impeaching Mayorkas will happen "very soon," though she did not disclose specifics.
-
House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green has accused Mayorkas of "dereliction of duty" but planned to refer the matter to the Judiciary Committee.
-
Greene's enthusiasm for impeachment could put pressure on Speaker Mike Johnson from his right flank to take more aggressive action.
-
One GOP lawmaker, Rep. Darrell Issa, flipped to now supporting Mayorkas' impeachment after previously voting to refer Greene's resolution to committee.
