According to The Hill, Ogles added a second article in the new filing, which claims Harris covered up President Biden's mental well-being, constituting a “breach of public trust.”
Despite Biden's decision to end his reelection campaign, he has maintained that he will finish his term and is in good health. The President has been largely absent from the public over the last week but delivered public remarks on Tuesday afternoon.
Ogles also called on Harris to invoke the 25th Amendment against Biden, citing his health.
“Kamala Devi Harris has knowingly misled the people of the United States and the Congress of the United States, principally to obfuscate the physical and cognitive well-being of the President of the United States, Joe Biden,” the filing reads.
The initial articles, filed June 12, 2023, claim Harris has “demonstrated extraordinary incompetence in the execution of her duties and responsibilities, a stark refusal to uphold the existing immigration laws, and a palpable indifference to people of the United States suffering as a result of the ongoing southern border crisis in the United States.”
The filing also lists some crimes allegedly committed by immigrants in the U.S. illegally, including the death of student Laken Riley, which have been highlighted by Republicans, in particular, as well as recent border crossing statistics.
“In all of this, Kamala Devi Harris willfully and systematically refused to uphold the immigration laws, failed to control the border to the detriment of national security, compromised public safety, and violated the rule of law, to the manifest injury of the people of the United States,” the articles read.
The initial filing has not gone beyond its introduction yet.
