Providing the sense of the House of Representatives that the political persecution of President Donald J. Trump is morally unjustifiable and has damaged institutional trust to an extraordinary degree; that the Biden administration's weaponization of the Federal Government against Donald Trump, the Republican Party's nominee for President in 2024, must end; that those responsible for the persecution of Donald Trump within the Biden administration must be held accountable by Congress; and that the United States would benefit enormously from having Donald J. Trump inaugurated once again as the President of the United States on January 20, 2025.
