Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) has introduced a resolution aimed at reversing the impeachments against President Trump.
The resolution, H. Res. 1211, says that both of Trump’s impeachments from 2019 and 2021 should be “expunged as if such Article had never passed the full House of Representatives.”
“The fact is that the Constitution doesn’t spell out what to do when you’ve wrongfully indicted somebody,” Issa told Fox News. “An impeachment is basically an indictment and it’s an indictment that you can’t really be acquitted from. If you are impeached by the House, famously where do you go to get your reputation back, is the question.”
“And that’s sort of a problem that we’re dealing with, which is that the president was wrongfully accused, the evidence is now out that there was withheld information and false information, but where do we go to unring this bell? And the answer is we go back to Congress and we go to the House floor and we have a vote,” he added, further explaining that he hopes the process will “make sure that the facts and the reality that there was misconduct in the process gets a hearing” because that’s “really where this becomes a big deal is that we really have to make our case in front of Congress and in front of the American people.”
The action comes as Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) also introduced a resolution addressing the 2019 impeachment plot against President Trump. The resolution follows the release of new information on the matter by National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard.
