Accuse of misconduct (7)
I believe the answer is:
impeach
'accuse of misconduct' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for impeach that I've seen before include "Charge with a crime (against the state)" , "call into question" , "Criticise" , "Charge with treason, etc" , "Arraign, charge" .)
