Overview

• Rep. Shri Thanedar has introduced seven articles of impeachment against Donald Trump, citing constitutional violations and disregard for legal rulings.
• Critics have resurfaced a 2010 incident in which Thanedar's pharmaceutical lab abandoned 118 beagles and 55 monkeys after his company filed for bankruptcy.
• Thanedar claims Bank of America seized control of the lab during bankruptcy proceedings, locking him out and leaving him unaware of the animals' conditions.
• Animal welfare groups rescued the abandoned animals months later, with activists alleging lab workers had been scaling fences to provide food and water.
• Political opponents, including Michigan GOP Senator Aric Nesbitt and Trump himself, are using the animal abandonment case to challenge Thanedar's moral authority.
