A smaller group, again led by Mullin, also introduced a resolution to expunge Trump\u2019s December 2019 impeachment for allegedly attempting to withhold military aid from Ukraine in an effort to pressure the country to investigate the business dealings of President Biden\u2019s son Hunter Biden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
