## Summary

**Alleged concealment and a flawed whistleblower complaint.** This resolution would condemn the handling of the August 2019 complaint about President Trump’s July 25, 2019 call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and would push for accountability through investigations and possible prosecutions. - Department of Justice and prosecutors: Would urge a thorough, independent probe into possible false statements, improper redactions, abuse of the whistleblower process, and coordination with congressional staff, and would encourage criminal charges where evidence warrants. - Intelligence community and oversight: Would condemn concealment of material bias and procedural failures, noting the complaint came from a CIA analyst with no firsthand knowledge who relied on second and third hand accounts and who admitted misleading investigators. - Public record and impeachment history: Would declare the 2019 impeachment lacked legitimacy because it rested on what the resolution calls a concealed and deficient complaint, and would commend Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard for declassifying related documents released April 13, 2026.
