At the Crooked Con conference in Washington, activist groups called for indicting the entire Trump administration, according to VICE News.

Melat Kiros said she is still weighing whether impeachment is worth the political capital. Gov. Wes Moore characterized voter expectations as a demand to "do something." VICE News reports the event revealed a divide between the party's base and its elected leadership over how aggressively to pursue legal or political accountability.
