By Rachael Bade and Rachael Bade Congressional reporter Email Bio Follow Mike DeBonis Mike DeBonis Congressional reporter covering the House of Representatives Email Bio Follow April 30 at 11:46 AM Rep. Al Green, a longtime proponent of impeaching President Trump, said Tuesday that he plans to force a vote to oust the president, though he offered no timetable on when he would act.

The panels are led by Reps. Adam B. Schiff and Maxine Waters , respectively.

But I live in the real world. And the real world is that there is a Senate that has no desire to do the right thing so long as Republicans are in charge.
