Impeaching Matthew M. Graves, United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, for endangering, compromising, and undermining the justice system of the United States by facilitating the explosion of violent crime in the Nation's capital.

This resolution (HRES 405) is a symbolic House action seeking to impeach Matthew M. Graves, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. It claims he failed to prosecute 67% of arrests in 2022 (doubling the prior decade's rate), allowed violent crime to rise 23% overall (with homicides up 30%), and prioritized prosecuting political protesters over serious crimes. The resolution asserts these actions "endangered the justice system" and violated his constitutional oath, though it is not a binding legal proceeding. As a procedural resolution, it does not change law or policy and reflects a partisan political statement, not a legislative bill with concrete policy changes.
