Read our privacy policy A group of more than 700 historians, legal scholars and others published an open letter on Monday urging the House of Representatives to impeach US president Donald Trump, denouncing his conduct as "a clear and present danger to the Constitution". "Mr Trump's lawless obstruction of the House of Representatives, which is rightly seeking documents and witness testimony in pursuit of its constitutionally-mandated oversight role, has demonstrated brazen contempt for representative government," the scholars write in the letter. Protect Democracy also released a letter earlier this month from more than 500 law professors asserting that Mr Trump had committed "impeachable conduct". In the letter, the scholars criticise Mr Trump's "numerous and flagrant abuses of power" and state that his actions "urgently and justly require his impeachment".
