Rep. Al Green (D-TX) believes that Tuesday’s James Comey memo is the last straw, tweeting that he plans to call for the impeachment of President Trump on the floor of Congress Wednesday morning. In the memo, reported on by The New York Times, the former FBI director claims that Trump asked him to stop investigating former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn.

Today on the floor of the Congress of the United States of America, I will call for the Impeachment of the President between 9am & 10am CST.
