Donald Trump endorsed a congressional push to erase his first-term impeachment, calling it “the Greatest Hoax in Political History” on a Truth Social post on July 6, 2026 at 9:54 AM EST (see truthsocial).

Here is the full post on [truthsocial]: “It was the Greatest Hoax in Political History! Rep. Anna Paulina Luna → @RepLuna I will be putting forward a resolution to void the fraudulent impeachment of President Trump during his first term in office. Russia collusion never happened. This has been proven by evidence released by ODNI Gabbard. It was a terrible lie that tore this country apart, and was plotted by a weaponized intelligence agency under Obama. There is no monetary value that can be assigned to the damage this lie caused. It destroyed families’ relationships with one another, our country’s comradery, and our relationship with another nuclear super power (Russia) that could have resulted in war. Thank goodness the admin has started to restore that relationship, but HISTORY should reflect what actually transpired. 3:47 PM Jun 12, 2026 641.2K Views”

Trump shared a screenshot of a post from Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, a Republican from Florida, in which she announced she would introduce a resolution to void what she called the “fraudulent impeachment” of Trump during his first term. Luna cited evidence she said was released by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard as proof that Russia collusion allegations were baseless.

Luna’s post, dated June 12, 2026, garnered more than 641,000 views on the platform. She described the Russia investigation as “a terrible lie that tore this country apart” and accused a “weaponized intelligence agency under Obama” of orchestrating it. Luna argued the investigation damaged family relationships, national unity and the diplomatic relationship between the United States and Russia, which she called “another nuclear super power.”

The first impeachment of Trump took place in December 2019, when the House of Representatives voted largely along party lines to impeach him on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress related to his dealings with Ukraine — not directly on Russia collusion allegations. The special counsel investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, led by Robert Mueller, concluded in 2019 without establishing a criminal conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia, though it documented extensive Russian efforts to influence the election.

Luna’s resolution would carry symbolic weight but faces uncertain procedural ground; constitutional scholars have debated whether Congress has the authority to retroactively void an impeachment, which is a permanent part of the congressional record. No such resolution has succeeded in American history.

In the last 30 days, 4 of 541 Trump posts were on the topic of “Deep State,” placing this post within a recurring but relatively infrequent theme in the former and current president’s social media activity.
