Democrat Representative Al Green has announced he will file articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump before Christmas.

Speaking in Washington, D.C., on Thursday, Green told supporters he would introduce the measures as a privileged motion before Congress breaks for the holidays.

“There will be articles of impeachment filed before the Christmas break, this I will pledge to you,” Green said.

Newsweek contacted the White House and Green for comment by email.

Trump was impeached twice during his first presidency, but was acquitted by the U.S. Senate in both cases. Given that Republicans hold a majority in the House of Representatives, it is unlikely that an impeachment effort would be successful, but efforts to remove Trump may damage his reputation and standing with his GOP colleagues.

Greene previously introduced articles of impeachment against Trump in May, claiming he was “unfit to be President.”

Meanwhile, in April, Representative Shri Thanedar introduced seven articles of impeachment against Trump for various reasons, including Trump’s use of the Department of Government Efficiency and Trump’s implementation of “damaging tariffs” on the U.S.’s trading partners.

Green told local reporters he had not asked House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries or others in Democratic leadership about his latest move to impeach Trump.

He did not provide further details about the plan.

Speaking to Newsweek, Heath Brown, an associate professor of public policy at City University of New York, said: “Based on what has occurred thus far, I don’t think these articles of impeachment will go very far.”

Representative Al Green of Texas told Newsweek in May: “I am Al Green, an unbought, unbossed, unafraid, liberated Democrat. I will speak truth to power, which is pretty easy to do. You simply say, ‘Power, we have a problem. Let’s solve it. I will do that, but I’ll also speak truth about power and say, power, we have a problem, and you’re it.'”

President Donald Trump at a rally in April addressed previous articles of impeachment introduced against him, saying: “Today they did it again. Some guy that I’ve never heard of…is he a congressman? This guy, he said …’ladies and gentlemen, I am going to start the impeachment of Donald Trump.’ What the hell did I do? Here we go again.”

It is unlikely that Trump will be impeached, given the GOP controls Congress.
