BREAKING? The House Is Again Trying to

 Expunge Trump's 2019 Impeachment — But

 the DOJ Didn't "Expose It as a Scam"

 The House is taking a bold step to formally expunge the sham 2019 impeachment of President Trump, righting a grave wrong orchestrated by Democrats desperate to undermine his America First agenda.

That partisan farce, built on hearsay and a rigged process over a perfectly appropriate call with Ukraine’s leader, was never about justice—it was a weaponized attempt to interfere in an election and smear a president delivering results for the American people.

Now, with Republicans leading the charge, this expungement will clear the record and affirm that such abuses of power will not stand. Trump’s legacy of strength and prosperity deserves nothing less.The "Republican Army" post shows Trump on the phone with the headline: "the House Moves To Expunge President Trump's 2019 Impeachment Over the Ukraine Phone Call After the DOJ Exposed the Information as a Scam!"
It's half true, half time-travel. The House has moved to expunge — but not this week, and not because the DOJ issued some new exposé.
Here's what the record shows.
What the resolution actually saysThe current push is H.Res.24 in the 119th Congress (2025-2026), introduced January 9, 2025 — not April 2026.
"Expunging the December 18, 2019, impeachment of President Donald John Trump."
It was filed by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, with nine co-sponsors, and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.
The key line: "Whereas President Trump was wrongfully accused of misconduct in House Resolution 755... as demonstrated by the information revealed in an unclassified FD-1023 FBI document: Now, therefore, be it Resolved, That the December 18, 2019, impeachment... is expunged, as if such Articles had never passed."
That FD-1023 is not new. It's the FBI informant form from 2020 alleging Joe and Hunter Biden took bribes from Burisma — the same document Republicans cited in 2023 to argue Trump's Ukraine call was justified. The DOJ did not "expose" the impeachment as a scam; the resolution claims the FD-1023 undermines the case.
This is the third try2021: H.Res.1010, by then-Rep. Markwayne Mullin, sought to expunge the 2019 impeachment, arguing the charges lacked sufficient proof.2023: H.Res.538, by Greene, made the same argument and was referred to Judiciary on June 22, 2023. It never got a vote.2025: H.Res.24 is the re-introduction. It is currently under House Judiciary Committee review.None have passed the full House. An expungement resolution is symbolic — the Constitution has no process to erase an impeachment. The House can vote to say it "disapproves" of its prior action, but the Senate trial record, the vote tally (230-197 on abuse of power, 229-198 on obstruction), and the historical record remain.
Did the DOJ expose anything?No DOJ press release in 2025 or 2026 declares the Ukraine impeachment a "scam." What happened:
In 2023, the FBI released the unclassified FD-1023 under pressure from House Oversight. The DOJ later charged the informant, Alexander Smirnov, with lying to the FBI in February 2024. He pleaded guilty in December 2024.So the document Greene cites as proof Trump was "wrongfully accused" is based on a source the DOJ says fabricated the Biden bribery claim. That's the opposite of an exposé clearing Trump — it's the DOJ discrediting the very evidence the expungement relies on.
The 2019 impeachment was about Trump's July 25, 2019 call asking Ukrainian President Zelensky for "a favor" — investigations into the Bidens — while withholding $391 million in military aid. The House impeached, the Senate acquitted in February 2020. No court has overturned those facts.
Why it's back nowWith Trump back in the White House in 2025, House Republicans have revived symbolic bills to rewrite his first-term record. Expunging both impeachments (2019 and 2021) was a campaign promise by Greene and Speaker Mike Johnson has said he'd bring it to the floor "when the time is right."
As of April 18, 2026, H.Res.24 has not moved out of committee, has not been scheduled for a vote, and the House has not "moved to expunge" in any binding way this week.
Bottom lineTrue: A House resolution to expunge Trump's 2019 Ukraine impeachment exists (H.Res.24, Jan. 9, 2025).False: The House just moved on it, and the DOJ did not expose the impeachment as a scam. The DOJ actually prosecuted the source of the document the resolution cites.Reality: It's a political messaging bill, reintroduced for the third time, with no vote scheduled. It cannot erase history — only express the current majority's disapproval.The meme takes a real bill, adds a fake DOJ bombshell, and stamps "BREAKING" on it. If the Judiciary Committee advances it, that will be news. Until then, it's a 15-month-old resolution getting recycled for engagement.
