impeach
The term was used to describe the action to be taken against President Bill Clinton because of his love scandal.
Please note that the Arabic term means the person(s) in question is (are) no longer believed to have the assumed credibility.

The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language (Third Edition) states that “impeach” means:
1) a) To make an accusation against. b) To charge (a public official) with improper conduct in office before a proper tribunal.
2) To challenge the validity of; try to discredit: impeach a witness’s credibility.
I am quite positive that the second definition fits the usage of your term.
