House Republicans Move to Expunge Trump’s First Impeachment Amid New Disclosures
by Emmitt Barry, Worthy News Washington D.C. Bureau Chief
(Worthy News) – A renewed effort is underway in the U.S. House of Representatives to expunge the first impeachment of Donald Trump, following newly declassified information tied to the 2019 Ukraine whistleblower complaint.
Rep. Jim Jordan, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, told Just the News that lawmakers are actively considering legislative steps to remove the impeachment from the congressional record.
“You need a majority vote, we need a bill, and it’s actually something we’re looking at,” Jordan said.
The development follows a Just the News exclusive revealing previously classified memos connected to the 2019 impeachment inquiry. According to the report, the CIA analyst who filed the whistleblower complaint—identified publicly as Eric Ciaramella—acknowledged he had no direct knowledge of the phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Instead, his complaint was based on second- and third-hand accounts.
The documents also reportedly highlight concerns about potential political bias. Ciaramella had professional ties to then–Vice President Joe Biden, including work related to Ukraine policy and interactions involving former Ukrainian prosecutor Yuriy Lutsenko, who had been investigating Burisma, an energy company linked to Biden’s son.
Further disclosures indicate the whistleblower had prior contact with staff from Rep. Adam Schiff, a key figure in the impeachment proceedings—contact that was not initially disclosed in official filings. The memos also describe expressed political views and opposition toward Republican figures such as Devin Nunes and former national security aide Kash Patel.
A second official, described as a National Security Council or NSA figure and associated with the 2016 Intelligence Community Assessment, supported the complaint despite reportedly lacking firsthand knowledge. The individual cited a “moral and patriotic duty” as motivation.
Legal scholar Alan Dershowitz weighed in on the expungement effort, stating that while the process may require congressional or judicial action, the credibility of the impeachment has already been significantly undermined.
“I don’t see any reason why it couldn’t be done,” Dershowitz said. “History will expunge it already… it’s hard for anybody to sit back now and say that was a just impeachment. They violated the Constitution.”
Efforts to expunge Trump’s impeachments are not new. In 2023, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced a resolution targeting the 2019 impeachment, while Rep. Elise Stefanik put forward a separate resolution addressing the 2021 impeachment. Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy also voiced support for such measures.
Any expungement would require a majority vote in the House, making the outcome dependent on the current political balance in Congress.
From a broader perspective, the renewed push reflects ongoing divisions over the legitimacy of the impeachment process and raises fresh constitutional questions about the authority of Congress to revise its historical record.
For many observers, the unfolding developments underscore how unresolved political battles from past administrations continue to shape the present landscape in Washington.
