Washington U.S. Representative Adam Smith is the second member of the state’s congressional delegation to call for an impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump.

Smith, a Bellevue Democrat, changed his mind after the events of the past several weeks, saying the president has continued his efforts to obstruct justice and undermine Congress.

Democratic Representative Pramila Jayapal of Seattle is the only other member of Washington’s delegation to call for the start of impeachment proceedings.

More than 70 House Democrats have called for an impeachment inquiry, though House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has declined to go along. (AP)
