This House resolution would expunge the December 18, 2019 and January 13, 2021 impeachments of President Donald Trump. The text directs that each impeachment be treated "as if such Articles had never passed the full House of Representatives." The resolution's preamble lists reasons for expungement, including claims about an anonymous whistleblower, findings by the Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG), alleged political bias by officials, and complaints about how the House considered the articles.
If the House adopts this resolution, the House record would state that those two impeachments are expunged and treated as if they never passed the full House. The resolution has been referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary and is currently in progress.

The resolution's sponsors say President Trump was wrongfully accused. The preamble asserts newly declassified material shows the "anonymous whistleblower" had no firsthand knowledge and was politically biased, that ICIG investigators found "indicia of an arguable political bias," and that another intelligence official (called "Witness 2") helped craft the complaint. The sponsors also say House procedures were rushed, that evidence and witnesses were not fully considered, and that the process was driven by partisan motives.
