Lay a charge against (7)

I believe the answer is:

impeach

(Other definitions for impeach that I've seen before include "Charge with a crime (against the state)" , "Arraign - revile" , "Bring an accusation against" , "call into question" , "Disparage" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
