Unlikely to pass
This is a symbolic resolution that expresses an opinion rather than changing the law. It is unlikely to get the support needed from the other party to move forward in the Senate.
Key Points
Sen. Scott introduced a resolution that says the 2019 impeachment of Trump was not legitimate. It claims the original complaint against him was based on biased information and second-hand accounts that were not fully shared with the public at the time.
The resolution asks the Justice Department to start a criminal investigation. It wants officials to look into whether people lied or broke rules when handling the whistleblower report about a phone call between Trump and Zelensky.
This move follows the release of new documents by Intelligence Director Gabbard. The resolution says these papers show the whistleblower had political biases that were hidden from investigators during the first impeachment.
It also mentions Biden and his son, Hunter. The resolution suggests the 2019 complaint was used to protect the Biden family from questions about their business dealings in Ukraine while Biden was in office.
