WASHINGTON, July 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Legendary consumer advocate Ralph Nader and constitutional lawyer and scholar Bruce Fein will convene the second in a series of watershed symposia on the urgency of impeaching and removing President Donald Trump to be held on Wednesday, July 22, 2026, at the Senate Visitors Center, Room 201-00 in Washington, D.C.
