Pennsylvania state Senate President Pro Tempore Jake Corman (R-Bellefonte) said this week that there is bipartisan support in the state House of Representatives to file articles of impeachment against Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner (D).
Corman, who's running for governor, sent a letter to the Republican-led state House on Tuesday, urging them to begin impeachment proceedings against Krasner, citing the prosecutor's "refusal" to "hold criminals accountable for the crimes that they commit."
Krasner was elected in 2017 with the help of $1.7 million from the George Soros-backed Philadelphia Justice and Public Safety PAC.
Under Krasner's tenure as district attorney, Philadelphia hit an all-time homicide record in 2021, but less than a tenth of about 21% of shootings that led to criminal charges resulted in convictions, the letter states.
"We're off to a bad start in 2022," Corman told the John Solomon Reports podcast on Wednesday, citing 100 carjackings already in the city since the start of the new year.
