U.S. Rep. Paul Tonko Calls for Impeachment Proceedings Against President Trump Following Social Media Warning

U.S. Representative Paul Tonko of New York has called for the House of Representatives to reconvene and initiate impeachment proceedings against President Trump. This demand follows a social media post by President Trump, which warned that a 'whole civilization will die tonight' if Tehran fails to meet his latest deadline regarding a deal that includes reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Representative Tonko, who represents New York's 20th Congressional District, stated that the president's post cannot be dismissed as 'mere idle threats.'
