Key Trump Officials
Who Must Also Face
Impeachment Proceedings
Just as Congress should launch impeachment proceedings against Trump, Congress should also launch impeachment proceedings against the enabling senior officials in the Trump Administration. Not only has Trump committed many of his impeachable offenses in concert with key senior officials, but many of them have also actively and enthusiastically encouraged, participated in, and initiated actions that are impeachable in and of themselves. To protect and defend our Constitution and our democracy, we must see full accountability for all individuals involved. The list below is not exhaustive but provides examples of the key members of the Trump administration who also must be impeached and removed from public office.

Since becoming Secretary of Health and Human Services, Kennedy has enabled and furthered Trump’s impeachable offenses as listed below:
Undermining public health and safety – firing CDC director and federal public health workers, jeopardizing billions in health research funding, dismantling safeguards against foodborne illness, pulling federal funding from state and local health departments, and actively spreading health falsehoods and misinformation.
Abusing his power in order to deprive the American public of accurate political, historic, scientific, and medical information – scrubbing healthcare data from websites, including national health surveys, indices, and dashboards.
Illegally kidnapping, detaining, and removing U.S. residents – attempting to unlawfully deport Guatemalan children under the care of HHS’s Office of Refugee Resettlement.
Unconstitutionally usurping Congress’s powers – defying Congress by blocking funds appropriated by Congress from reaching their intended recipients.
In supporting Trump’s constitutional violations and actively participating in, or even initiating, the actions noted above, Kennedy has failed to faithfully discharge the duties of his office. Kennedy also broke promises to Congressional members, including a promise that he would not alter the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. Instead, he arbitrarily dismissed all 17 members of that advisory committee. Kennedy also has significant conflicts of interest due to his profiting from the wellness industry and potential contingency fees he, or those close to him, may gain from anti-vaccine lawsuits. He must be held accountable for his actions.
