Judiciary Chair confirms House moving to expunge Trump impeachment over Ukraine phone call
A successful expungement resolution would substantiate Trump’s claims that the impeachments were illegitimate “hoaxes” driven by political malice and "lawfare."
Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, Chairman of the House Committee on the Judiciary, has disclosed to Just The News that the House of Representatives, where President Donald Trump was impeached during his first term over a phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, is moving to expunge that impeachment from the congressional record.
"You need a majority vote, we need a bill, and it's actually something we're looking at," Jordan told Just The News.
On Monday, Just The News was first to report on declassified secret memos from the 2019 Ukraine whistle-blower scandal, which revealed that the CIA analyst accuser (identified in media as Eric Ciaramella) admitted having no direct knowledge of Trump’s private comments or communications with Zelenskyy, basing the complaint entirely on hearsay and second- or third-hand accounts. The latest disclosures also document Ciaramella's potential political bias, including his status as a registered Democrat who worked closely with Vice President Joe Biden on Ukraine policy, including traveling with him and discussing the dismissal of Ukrainian Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko, who was probing Burisma, the corporation that paid Biden's son Hunter millions of dollars.
Hiding facts from Congress, and the public
The memos also reveal Ciaramella's dislike for Republicans like former Representative Devin Nunes and Kash Patel, and his prior procedural contact with Rep. Adam Schiff's, D-Calif., staff, which he initially omitted from the official disclosure form before apologizing.
A supporting “Witness 2,” an NSC/NSA official and co-author of the controversial 2016 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) on Russian election interference, linked to Peter Strzok backed the complaint.
