HARRISBURG, Pa. — A Pennsylvania state House committee on Tuesday approved articles of impeachment against Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner, setting the stage for a vote in the full House, likely this week.
The Republican-controlled House Judiciary Committee voted 14-8 along party lines Tuesday morning to approve the articles. They accuse Krasner, a Democrat, of implementing policies that have contributed to a rise in violent crime and of obstructing a legislative committee investigating his office — accusations Krasner has denied.
A spokesperson for House Republicans said the caucus anticipates a vote in the full House on Wednesday.
