Jeffries Won't Rule Out Trump Impeachment if Democrats Win House

Hakeem Jeffries said Sunday that House Democrats have not ruled impeachment in or out, contingent on winning the majority in November's midterms.

• Jeffries made the remarks during an appearance on ABC News' This Week with George Stephanopoulos.
• He pledged to follow facts, apply the law, and be guided by the Constitution.
• Rep. Jamie Raskin said last week Trump has 'undoubtedly' committed impeachable offenses.
• CNN's Poll of Polls put Trump at 35 percent approval and 63 percent disapproval.

Why it matters: Control of the House flipping to Democrats would give them subpoena power and committee gavels, converting rhetorical pledges into formal investigative authority.

• Jeffries also named Raskin and Rep. Robert Garcia as leads on Judiciary and Oversight committee work respectively.

How 5 sources split on this story

Where they split: The factual dispute is whether Jeffries' 'haven't ruled anything out' language signals a concrete impeachment plan or is a deliberate hedge leaving all options open.

What’s next: Democrats are targeting a House majority in November as the prerequisite for any oversight action.

• Trump separately promised a $5,000 payment to every adult citizen if Republicans hold both chambers.
• 270 million eligible adults would make that pledge cost approximately $1.35 trillion; no legislation or funding source has been introduced.
• If Democrats win the House, would leadership move toward impeachment proceedings or keep focus on investigative hearings?
• Would any specific finding from Raskin's or Garcia's committee work trigger an actual impeachment vote?
