About this episode
House Republicans are moving closer to taking the rare step of impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for his handling of the southern border. The Republicans on the House Homeland Security Committee claim Mayorkas has committed high crimes and misdemeanors when it comes to how he’s dealt with the crisis. House Speaker Mike Johnson has promised to move the articles of impeachment against Mayorkas to the floor quickly. Democratic Rep. Dan Goldman serves on the House Homeland Security Committee. He joins AC360 to discuss why he calls these efforts a "gross abuse" of the impeachment clause. Plus, former President Trump's Super PAC spent approximately $50 million on legal and investigation-related expenses in 2023.Investigative journalist and author of the "Big Cheat," David Cay Johnston tells Anderson Cooper if he thinks Trump would be able to afford these massive legal fees if it weren't for his PAC.
