UF students threaten impeachment for Trump Jr.'s visit
GAINESVILLE, Fla. - Donald Trump isn't the only president facing an impeachment inquiry. Members of the university's student senate filed a resolution on Tuesday to impeach Student Body President Michael Murphy for malfeasance and abuse of power.

The filing of the impeachment resolution in Gainesville, Florida comes within a day of the first public hearing on Wednesday of the Trump impeachment inquiry in Washington.
