Donald Trump was impeached twice in his first presidency, becoming the first president in history to suffer that fate on multiple occasions. Could he be impeached again?

“Trump has been accused of using his office as president to enrich himself, his family members, and allies, with figures in several eyebrow-raising cases amounting to as high as several billion dollars,” the Blast story said. “House Democrats are reportedly laying the groundwork for a sweeping investigative campaign targeting private companies, contractors, and financial entities linked to President Donald Trump if they regain the chamber majority in the upcoming November midterm elections.”
The Blast cited a Reuters report, stating that “sources familiar with the internal discussions shared that senior Democratic lawmakers and committee aides will prioritize aggressive congressional oversight using subpoenas, public hearings, and document requests to probe administration decisions and corporate ties.”
