Cohen, a Memphis Democrat who is retiring from his 9th District House seat, cited what he said were multiple abuses of power, violations of his oath of office, the corrupt use of the pardon power and emoluments clause violations by the president.
He acknowledged the impeachment bid would likely fall short, but said he was sending a message about standing up to the president.
“I know they won’t go anywhere, but I’m not going to stop standing up for my constituents and for democracy,” Cohen said in an interview with Nexstar.
Cohen also introduced articles of impeachment against Trump in 2017.
