A House Democrat has drafted articles of impeachment for Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel.
A source familiar confirmed Rep. Marc Veasey (D-Texas) has drafted the measures after making a social media post accusing both of lying.
The articles come as Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) said she would file a motion to strip Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) of her committee assignments.
“If @NancyMace (soon to be a sucker and loser in her governors race) wants to strip @Ilhan of her committees for words she never said, MANY people are saying we should impeach the incompetent Kash Patel and Pam Bondi for the lies they ACTUALLY TOLD!!” Veasey wrote on the social platform X.
It’s unclear what the basis for the impeachment is, or when the articles might be filed.
His post references Bondi’s pledge to release case files related to Jeffrey Epstein, and Patel’s announcement of an arrest in the shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. While the “subject” Patel announced the arrest of was found to have no connection to the shooting and was later released, his statements on the matter were factual.
Neither Bondi nor Patel’s office immediately respond to request for comment.
The plans come amid broader efforts on both sides of the aisle to censure different figures on the other — and concerns how censure efforts might escalate.
Democrats withdrew a motion to censure Rep. Cory Mills (R-Fla.) after several GOP members joined Democrats to kill an effort to censure Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-N.J.).
The impeachment of a Cabinet member has only happened twice in U.S. history. The House voted to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas last year, the first such measure to be taken up in more than 100 years. It was swiftly rejected by the Senate.
