  • A post shared on Facebook claims Democratic Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (New York) and Jamie Raskin (Maryland) have filed articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump over his Jan. 6 pardons.

The article from MSN discusses a claim circulating on social media that Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) and Jamie Raskin have filed articles of impeachment against former President Donald Trump related to his actions concerning January 6 pardons. However, this claim is misleading. While AOC and Raskin have been vocal critics of Trump, especially regarding the events of January 6, 2021, there is no evidence that they have recently filed new articles of impeachment specifically over the issue of pardons. The confusion might stem from previous impeachment efforts against Trump, where Raskin played a significant role as the lead impeachment manager during Trump's second impeachment trial, which was related to the January 6 Capitol riot but not specifically about pardons. The article clarifies that no such new impeachment articles have been filed as of the latest updates.
