Referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. (text: CR S1842-1843)
This Senate resolution expresses disapproval of how the 2019 Ukraine whistleblower complaint was handled and calls for the Department of Justice to investigate and potentially prosecute those involved in processing the complaint. The resolution argues that the whistleblower lacked firsthand knowledge of the events in question, had undisclosed Democratic Party affiliations and prior work with Joe Biden, and allegedly misled investigators about contacts with Democratic congressional staff. Based on these claims about the complaint's credibility and handling, the resolution declares that President Trump's 2019 House impeachment lacks legitimacy and was not based on sufficient evidence of wrongdoing. The resolution also praises Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard for declassifying documents about the complaint in April 2026. This is a non-binding expression of Senate opinion that does not change existing law or direct specific government action, though it requests DOJ review and potential prosecution related to the complaint's handling.
