"Impeachment Trial Looms for Philly's Progressive Prosecutor as Transit Crime Authority Diverted"

Philadelphia's progressive prosecutor, Larry Krasner, is facing an impeachment trial as Republican lawmakers pass a new law creating a special prosecutor role to investigate and prosecute crimes on the city's public transit system. This move is seen as an attempt to undermine Krasner's authority and his progressive policies, which have faced backlash from conservative lawmakers. Krasner and his supporters argue that the legislation is an attack on democracy and disenfranchises voters. The state attorney general has 30 days to appoint the new special prosecutor, who will be reimbursed by the city. Krasner's current term ends in 2026.
