HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania House Republicans are teeing up a vote to impeach Democratic Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner. Republican leaders said after a committee vote Tuesday that a full floor vote to send it to the Senate for trial is expected Wednesday. The Judiciary Committee voted on party lines to advance two impeachment articles against Krasner. GOP lawmakers are blaming him for crime problems in the state’s most populous city. Krasner’s office put out a statement defending his record and saying House Republicans are showing they don’t want to govern responsibly.
